What kind of climate conditions does kiwifruit cultivation require?

Kiwifruit cultivation has fairly strict temperature requirements, and kiwifruit likes to grow in a warm environment. The temperature is best kept within 15 degrees and should not exceed 38 degrees, as high temperatures will cause damage to kiwifruit. Different varieties will also have slightly different climate condition requirements for cultivation.

Climate Conditions for Kiwifruit Cultivation

1. Temperature

Temperature is the main reason why some provinces cannot cultivate kiwifruit, as kiwifruit cultivation has fairly strict temperature requirements. Kiwifruit prefers warmth and moisture, and is mostly grown in temperate and subtropical regions. The temperature for cultivating kiwifruit needs to be kept at around 15 degrees, and the maximum temperature must not exceed 40 degrees. However, there are many kiwifruit varieties, and different varieties will have different temperature requirements, so we should adjust the temperature appropriately according to the variety we are cultivating.

2. Light

Kiwifruit is a light-loving fruit, but it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, so when cultivating kiwifruit it should be planted on a shaded slope. Kiwifruit trees can make full use of scattered light for photosynthesis, but the trees should not be kept in a completely shaded environment either. Lack of light affects the photosynthesis of the trees, reducing the accumulation of photosynthetic substances, which causes the branches to lack nutrients, turn yellow, and die.
