猕猴桃，也被称为简单的“猕猴桃”，是一种受欢迎的可食用浆果，生长在温带地区的藤蔓上。虽然每棵藤蔓植物可以结出数百磅的果实，但这些植物通常需要三到七年的时间才能成熟。

Grow Kiwifruit Step 1 “种植猕猴桃步骤1”
1
Choose a type of kiwifruit. Growing kiwifruits from seed is a fun project and will give you a nice ornamental plant. Kiwifruit do not always grow true to type, meaning that your plant may not produce edible fruit like the one it came from.[2] If you want to grow a kiwi plant for its fruit, purchase a grafted plant from a nursery. Three major types of kiwifruit are:

选择一种猕猴桃。从种子中种植猕猴桃是一个有趣的项目，会给你一个很好的观赏植物。猕猴桃的生长并不总是完全符合类型，这意味着你的植物可能不会产生像它所产的那种可食用的果实。[2] 如果你想种植一种猕猴桃以获取果实，可以从苗圃购买嫁接植物。猕猴桃有三种主要类型：
▲Kiwi packaging▲
Common kiwi – This is the type of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) typically found in grocery stores. It is a brown, fuzzy fruit with a thick skin and green pulp. For optimal growth, it requires about a month of cool weather with temperatures ranging from 30 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 to 7ºC). Common Kiwi can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 7-9.[3]

普通猕猴桃——这是一种常见于杂货店的猕猴桃（美味猕猴桃）。这是一种棕色、毛茸茸的水果，果皮厚，果肉绿色。为了达到最佳生长，它需要大约一个月的凉爽天气，温度在30到45华氏度（-1到7℃）之间。普通猕猴桃可以在美国农业部耐寒区7-9种植

Golden kiwi – Another popular type of kiwi, the golden kiwi (Actinidia chinensis) is sweeter but more delicate compared to the common kiwi. It is closely related to common kiwifruit but is less fuzzy and more yellow. This fruit grows best in zones that experience winter lows ranging from 10 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 to -1ºC).[4]

金猕猴桃——另一种受欢迎的猕猴桃，金猕猴桃（猕猴桃）比普通猕猴桃更甜，但更精致。它与普通猕猴桃关系密切，但不太模糊，更黄。这种水果在经历10到30华氏度（-12到-1摄氏度）的冬季低温的地区生长得最好

Kiwi berry – This name usually refers to two different kiwi species, the hardy kiwi (Actinidia arguta) and the super-hardy kiwi (Actinidia kolomikta). These kiwifruits are much smaller compared to common and golden kiwis and have a thinner, smooth skin. As their names suggest, this type of kiwi is the most cold-tolerant and can be grown in areas that experience harsh winters.[5] These varieties are sometimes able to produce fruit after just one growing season, in contrast to most others that take years to mature.

猕猴桃浆果——这个名字通常指两种不同的猕猴桃，耐寒猕猴桃（arguta猕猴桃）和超级耐寒猕猴（kolomikta猕猴桃）。与普通猕猴桃和金色猕猴桃相比，这些猕猴桃要小得多，皮肤更薄、光滑。顾名思义，这种猕猴桃是最耐寒的，可以在经历严冬的地区种植。[5] 这些品种有时仅在一个生长季节后就能结出果实，而其他大多数品种则需要数年才能成熟

Obtain kiwifruit seeds. If you've decided to grow common kiwifruit, getting seeds can be as simple as going to the grocery store and buying a fruit. According to some gardeners, seeds from organic fruits are more likely to germinate and grow hardy adult plants. For more exotic types of kiwi, you can order inexpensive seeds online from a variety of vendors.

获取猕猴桃种子。如果你决定种植普通的猕猴桃，那么获得种子就像去杂货店买水果一样简单。根据一些园丁的说法，有机水果的种子更有可能发芽并生长出耐寒的成年植物。对于更具异国情调的猕猴桃，你可以从各种供应商那里在线订购便宜的种子。

To remove seeds from a fresh kiwifruit, simply slice the fruit in half and scoop a them out with your fingers or a spoon. Place the seeds in a small bowl or cup and rinse them to remove the fruit. To rinse, swish water around in the bowl and strain it back out a few times.[7]

要从新鲜猕猴桃中取出种子，只需将其切成两半，然后用手指或勺子舀出。将种子放在一个小碗或杯子里，冲洗干净，取出水果。要冲洗，在碗里用水冲洗，然后滤出几次

Keep in mind that most kiwi growers favor purchasing young plants created through propagation from nurseries rather than sprouting them from seeds. This is partly because propagated cultivars possess traits that are much more consistent over generations. Additionally, most varieties of kiwifruit are delicious, meaning that both a male and a female plant are required for fruiting to occur. Since the only way to tell the difference between the two is through their flowers and flowering usually takes three or more years to start happening, it's difficult to accurately space seedlings for optimal pollination and fruit production.

请记住，大多数猕猴桃种植者倾向于购买通过苗圃繁殖而成的幼苗，而不是从种子中发芽。这在一定程度上是因为繁殖的品种具有世代更加一致的特性。此外，大多数猕猴桃品种都很美味，这意味着雄性和雌性植物都需要结果实。由于区分两者的唯一方法是通过它们的花朵，开花通常需要三年或更长时间才能开始，因此很难准确地为最佳授粉和果实生产安排幼苗。

Sprout your seeds. Place your seeds in a resealable plastic bag along with a damp paper towel. Zip the bag up and put it in a warm spot. Check your seeds every day until you see that they have sprouted.
发芽你的种子。将种子与湿纸巾一起放入可重新密封的塑料袋中。把袋子拉上拉链，放在暖和的地方。每天检查你的种子，直到你看到它们发芽。

If you notice the paper towel drying out before your seeds have germinated, be sure to moisten it again. The seeds need a humid environment to sprout.[8]
如果你注意到纸巾在种子发芽前就已经干了，一定要再次弄湿它。种子需要潮湿的环境才能发芽

Plant your germinated seeds. Prepare and moisten a few pots of seed starter potting mix, one for every three or four seeds. Tear off a section of the moistened paper towel you used to germinate the seeds that has a three to four seedlings clinging to it. Plant this, paper towel piece and all, into one of your pots. Repeat until all seedlings are planted.[9]

种下你发芽的种子。准备并弄湿几盆种子发酵剂盆栽混合物，每三到四粒种子配一盆。撕下一段湿润的纸巾，你用来发芽的种子上有三到四棵幼苗。把这个，一块一块的纸巾都种在你的一个花盆里。重复上述步骤，直到所有幼苗都种植完毕

Place your plants in a spot that gets plenty of light. Windowsills are generally the best choice unless you have a basement equipped with grow lights.
Young plants are especially sensitive to winter chills, so many growers keep their kiwi plants indoors for the first two years or so.[10]
Remember to transfer your plants to new, larger pots as they begin to outgrow their smaller ones. At this stage, begin boosting their nutrition using a generic starter fertilizer.[11]

把你的植物放在光线充足的地方。窗台通常是最好的选择，除非你的地下室配备了生长灯。
年轻的植物对冬天的寒冷特别敏感，因此许多种植者在头两年左右将猕猴桃植物放在室内
记住，当你的花盆开始长得比小花盆大时，要把它们转移到新的大花盆里。在这个阶段，开始使用普通起子肥料来增加他们的营养
