Kiwi made for Ukraine
A new kind of kiwi
suitable for cultivating in Ukraine was bred in Zakarpattya Oblast. The kiwi
bushes look like grape plants, but they are easier to keep and bear fruits
every year as resistible to freezing.
‘Kiwi gives fruits on
the third year after planting. It blossoms in the end of May – beginning of
summer, that’s why, unlike traditional for this region apples, apricots and
peaches, it is protected from freezing and bears fruits every year. It bears
fruits for decades’, Henric Straton, the breeder, tells.
One kiwi bush bears
25kg of fruits per season, and, keeping it high, it can bear even 60kg of
fruits.
The breeder plans to
register kiwi variety “Carpathian Kiwi Stratona val. Valentine”. He
has already planted a trial lot of 11 bushes on the northern field of Plant
Varieties Expertise Institute (Sumy region).
‘Hopefully in 10-25
years Ukraine will have its own kiwi plantations and will be able to export
kiwi fruits’.
