Kiwi Tree

Actinidia deliciosa

The kiwi plant is a fruit-bearing vine that grows in certain regions of Nepal. With its heart-shaped fuzzy fruits, kiwi adds a unique and vibrant touch to the landscape. Kiwi plants typically take 3 to 5 years to mature and produce fruit, depending on the variety and growing conditions. The fruit itself is known for its sweet and tangy flavor, along with its high vitamin C and fiber content. Kiwis are enjoyed fresh, sliced in salads, blended in smoothies, or used in various culinary creations. Kiwi cultivation adds diversity to Nepal’s fruit production and offers a delightful tropical treat.
