Kiwi Berries web. The difference between our berries and anyone else's (besides variety) is that are our trellising and management systems are designed to produce berries that are grown in the sun, not in the shade. Grown on our unique improved T-Bar trellis system, our berries receive plenty of sunlight and airflow which provides us with the "true" quality fruit that these vines naturally produce. Fruit exposed to the sun has higher sugar levels, optimized flavors, greater nutrient value, and is BLUSHED. When Kiwi Korners was developed, the first major consideration was the trellising system. We researched the two most common types utilized for hardy kiwi which are the conventional T-bar and pergola systems. Through our research we found that hardy kiwi varieties are tested on T-bar systems for their attributes and marketability. They are then grown commercially on an all overhead pergola system which will yield higher production with the least amount of investment in time, labor, and input.

This patented column planter growing system consists of a stack of high density polyethylene containers that nest for shipping. They are turned 90 degrees to stack and become a unique vertical growing system. This growing system holds four plants per pot or 20 to 64 plants per stack. This stack takes up less than one and a half square feet of floor space.

Spaced out for the crops intended and the light availability, the system is capable of producing 6 to 8 times as much per square foot as the equivalent field crop and 3 to 4 times as much as greenhouse bench crops. The plant density for a field crop of strawberries, lettuce, spinach and herbs is approximately 0.34 plants per square foot or 14,520 plants per acre. This is based on row spacing of 36 inches and plant spacing within the rows of 12 inches. The EzGro system has potential for strawberries because the crop has a very high value and it has a small root system. Fertilization is done with soluble, balanced hydroponic nutrients.

Pruning and training apple or pear trees to a four-wire trellis Trellising is a means of supporting dwarf apple and pear trees to increase their bearing surface and hence their production. The trellis consists of a series of wires supported by posts (Figure 4.8). Limbs and branches are positioned on this wire fence to encourage fruit production.

Varieties on M.27, Bud.9, M.9, or M.26, as well as pears on Quince C rootstock, can be trained to a trellis. Constructing the TrellisThe trellis should be in place before the trees are planted. To train trees to a trellis, start by planting the trees 6 to 7 feet apart between the supporting posts (see Figure 4.8). After the first growing season, prune back the terminals of the tied limbs as well as the central trunk. Periodically, limbs get old and production decreases. Girdling can result where the limbs and trunk are tied to the wires.
