This is the kiwi arbour that we built. The wires are 16" on center. It is two arbours, end to end. Each arbour has nine plants. It measures 24x42'. Each plant is given an area 8'x14'. The plants are set up like a tictactoe board, 3 across, 3 down. The middle plant is a male. The other 8 are females. The plant is grown up in the middle of the 8x14' area to the 6' height of the wires. The permanent structure of the plant is shaped like a capital T, long ways, 14'. New shoots that are saved for fruit grow out from there each year. The old shoots are removed, and new ones replace them each winter, when pruned. We are growing several varieties. The two that have fruited have excellent taste.
