I was today old when I found out that kiwi grows on a vine.

oh, cool. I looked up pictures. I was sure it grew on a tree

I thought for sure it was a tree.

The worst part about my new kiwi knowledge is that they can be grown in my area but take 5 years to give fruit and you need a male and a female plant. I love kiwis and would love to grow my own, but 5 years?!

5 years for a vine seems like a lot yea. Since we just had our land devastated by cyclone Chido, I recently planted Jack seeds. 6 of them have sprouted (long way to go from this to a tree, but still a small success!), and my neighbour informed me that they will only give fruit in 8 to 10 years. Patience...
