Item Growing hardy kiwifruit in the home garden(Department of Horticultural Science, 2018) Luby, Jim; Hoover, Emily E; Tepe, Emily; Guthrie, BobNative to the forests of eastern Asia, about 80 species of Actinidia are known. Two of these, A. kolomikta and A. arguta can be grown in Minnesota and similar regions, and produce delicious, grape-sized berries with a flavor similar to grocery store kiwifruit though somewhat sweeter. This article provides information for home gardeners who are interested in growing this plant.Item How much effort does it take to grow fruit?(Department of Horticultural Science, 2018) Hoover, Emily E; Tepe, Emily SBecause fruits are perennial plants, they require a bit more commitment than vegetables.

Articles in previous editions of the Greenbook described our activities in year one and year two of the project.
