They should grow there. You'll need a male and a female if you want fruit. And you'll need a really strong pergola, not one of those rickety, flimsy things.

And you'll need to be willing to prune it, or you won't be able to get into your house. If you think the rose bush got out of hand, the kiwi vines will be more so. If you want an easy-care, neat climber, don't get kiwi. Get something like a Clematis.

I just got my kiwi from ebay last week...the male was puny, but is growing fast.

They need lots of water. I killed mine by not watering enough. They also need sun.

Thanks for the tips.

I was going to get mine bare root in January.
