The trellis is finished

Ta-Da!

Our baby kiwis came with with two shoots, rather than one main trunk, so Mark made a "V" wire system enabling the shoots to climb up both sides of the trellis.

Then once they reach the top, there are four galvanized cables running the length of the trellis ready to support them while they grow and, in their fifth year, bear delicious fruit. By the way, the fruit of hardy kiwi is different than what we see in the grocery store; smooth, not fuzzy, and smaller. Reportedly tastier than the fuzzy kiwi, but not grown commercially because of a short shelf-life.
