When to plant Fuzzy Kiwifruit
NC State Extension notes that fuzzy kiwi spring shoots are very frost tender and a late frost can damage the plant, so set vines out in spring after frost danger and protect them from strong winds; choose the site carefully since the plant resents having its roots disturbed once established.
The calendar shows this cited seasonal window as an approximate band. It does not convert the season into frost-adjusted dates.
