I am in S florida on the water. Is there any chance they will produce fruit.

My plants did not arrive in good shape... However I have grown kiwi here in Baltimore before. They are native to New Zealand where some winters are harsh...It's worth a try. One year I had a bushel of fruit from two female, one male vines.

Kiwi plants grow well just about everywhere but do your research before buying. Some species of plant MUST live in very cold areas to produce fruit. Like how some bulbs and seeds need to freeze before growing, some kiwi need to get to 0 degrees f or below to grow fruit the next year.

In my opinion you would absolutely get kiwis. Here in nh we have to worry about late frosts. These plant are very fast growing. You could probably grow regular kiwis too. Im very happy with my plants. No fruit yet (only planted last year). Lots and lots of growth! Does need fullnsun to grow we'll. Good luck!

hello I am not quite sure our plants have gone into "shrub mode" they have grown a whole bunch and we have trimmed them but still have not even bloomed im not sure how long it takes but they are supposed to produce fruit in all zones, im sure they will produce in Fla. so good luck if you still have a problem im sure Hirts could answer them better than I could.

I think you will find that it will thrive in your area. The largest vine I ever saw was at the corner of South St. & Duvall in Key West. It was very healthy and quite fragrant in April and May. Someone removed it several years ago unfortunately. I plan to plant several in Miami.

I really do not know, but I lived in Harrisburg, Pa and had one that produced a lot of persimmons but I made a simple wooden and plastic covering made to protect it. Now I live in Tenn and they produced a limited number of persimmons. I would think that if you helped it out and did some covering to protect it, that might work. It is worth a try as we love to eat ours. C Vesper vesp5300@gmail.com

We don't have many pear trees in Florida, but I can't think no reason why it wouldn't work on them. The number of treatments that you can get out of a bottle depends on the size of the plant. Larger plants require more product.

I think as long as they were in the right sun they'd do great. I love how mine worked out last year and look forward to re-planting soon (in Florida).

I do not believe it will as it grows quite big. I live in Florida and mine is outside. I is about 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide and has not given any fruit. I believe it may be too wet here. I suppose it could grow inside but it grows very quickly

I don't know. I never tried it. My guess is that it might give some juice, but the majority of the fruit will be left with the seeds.

I live in the panhandle of FL. The temperature here my drop to the low 20's at times. This past winter was extremely cold and we even had enough ice to close down schools. The plant faired well through it all and is doing fine. When I received it the top broken from the transport and I was worried the damage would possibly kill it. My fuyu seems to be doing fine so far and I hope to be seeing fruit next year. I don't believe you will have any issues with it in Ca. Good luck.

I live in Mass. we had a very!!!! cold winter -20. I went out to look at my vines today and there covered with buds,waiting to starting growing! I'm not sure about the how long before the fruit bears but the plants are very hardy and growing very well!

I'm told you can eat the fruit but it may take over one year to produce fruit so i'm still waiting

I have had 0 avocados ..the tree is planted in my backyard..It is alive but with the temperature hitting 15 ..not sure it will survive..extremely cold for Florida( I live in Panama city Beach)..it is covered and I am hopeful.It did grow much last summer and has always seemed a little frail..I just thought it was because it was a dwarf .My Lime tree did not produce any limes last year and it has always in the past..It could be a deficiency, in my soil not the problem of the tree.In other words ...human error...However,if the avocados shown in the picture had grown on my tree it would have broken the branches..Good luck I have had 0 avocados ..the tree is planted in my backyard..It is alive but with the temperature hitting 15 ..not sure it will survive..extremely cold for Florida( I live in Panama city Beach)..it is covered and I am hopeful.It did grow much last summer and has always seemed a little frail..I just thought it was because it was a dwarf .My Lime tree did not produce any limes last year and it has always in the past..It could be a deficiency, in my soil not the problem of the tree.In other words ...human error...However,if the avocados shown in the picture had grown on my tree it would have... » Read More I have had 0 avocados ..the tree is planted in my backyard..It is alive but with the temperature hitting 15 ..not sure it will survive..extremely cold for Florida( I live in Panama city Beach)..it is covered and I am hopeful.It did grow much last summer and has always seemed a little frail..I just thought it was because it was a dwarf .My Lime tree did not produce any limes last year and it has always in the past..It could be a deficiency, in my soil not the problem of the tree.In other words ...human error...However,if the avocados shown in the picture had grown on my tree it would have broken the branches..Good luck « Show Less

The chance of it producing fruit is probably less than 1% according to how it is doing since I bought it. So forget about eating the fruit.

It might be tough. If you do the best you can, you will probably be okay. You just won't get quite as much from the fruit.

all i can say is this... you can slide the plant outside on the patio for the spring and summer and it will produce fruit that way. you can slide it back inside the house for the winter and it should go dormant until spring. i am not really an expert to answer this question. if you could keep it by a bright window receiving lots of light from the sun it might produce fruit. it would be a cheap and fun experiment to try out anyway. a plant light might help. it would be fun just to try and see if it works. thanks!!!

I have had mine for a year now, and it has not borne fruit. But it is still very healthy and has actually split into 2 plants, because one of the branches bent down into the dirt and took root. Now I have 2. Hopefully will fruit this coming summer.

I'm in Louisiana and received mine in April of last year and I planted it outside in a container. It looked like it died over the winter but it has come back with a vengeance! Hooray! But... I still haven't gotten any fruit from it. Maybe this year hopefully.

It's hard to say. I live in Florida and planted the seeds in March. They were slow to move. Now we are in late November...the air is cooler and they are finally starting to grow. Not the easiest to grow for me, and will attempt again next year to see if it was something that I did wrong.
