Hardy kiwi vines produce berries that are sweeter than table grapes and they have more vitamin C per ounce than an average orange. And while the fruit is similar to the larger, fuzzy kiwis that grow in New Zealand and California, kiwiberries have edible skin.
In this episode our guest is Iago Hale, Associate Professor in Agriculture, Nutrition and Food Systems at the University of New Hampshire and he explains how to grow kiwiberries in a cool climate.
Iago and his team's resource of anything related to kiwiberry can be found on their website Nor'East Kiwiberries
