Fruit

I'm thinking Kiwi tree. Actually I'm not sure if they grow on bushes, trees, or if they will grow in the south at all but our great nephew Jordan loves 'em. He just celebrated his first birthday and he has discovered the wonders of fresh fruit. I'm guessing he will enjoy all kinds, but the fruit of the day is Kiwi.
So I'm doing some research to see if we can grow them here and how long it takes for them to bear fruit. We currently have grapes, peaches, apples, pears, blueberries (though they are not bearing yet) blackberries and and muscadines. All the weather folks are saying that this winter has been perfect for fruit and vegetable production. Cold enough to kill the munching critters and wet enough to make the roots explode a the first sign of spring.
I'm excited. I love everything about spring....except for the tornado's.
