About the size of your thumb, kiwi berries are smooth-skinned, sweet, and taste much like fuzzy kiwis.
Kiwi berries are ready to be picked in mid October. They are soft and juicy when fully ripe.
These fruits are very addictive fresh off the vine, and can be prepared in a multitude of ways in the kitchen like other fruits.
Kiwi berries offer stunning fall foliage in November as the leaves turn golden brown.
