Hi everyone I am Andrea from London. I found a plant in my backyard after I bought the house (photos of the plant have been attached). I have not been able to identify it. I hope You can help me please.
Welcome Andrea. Is that London UK ? It looks like Actinidia deliciosa. This is the shrub that will give Kiwi fruits.... if you have a female and male plant. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Ac...&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1247&bih=496
yes London Uk : ) I never thought it could be a fruit shrub... thank you so much, now I know how can care for it .
Silver Surfer is correct. And the plant can become quite large - a local nursery has it twining around 6-8 inch square timbers. The mature lower branches reach 5 inches across and appear to crush the wood as they twine up and hug it tightly. The fruit hangs down from the hefty trellis installed between the posts. Very definitely the nursery has both male and female plants -patrons can pick the fruit during season.
