The kiwifruit, which came from New Zealand, conquered the markets of the northern hemisphere a few years ago and Westerners now appreciate its vitamin virtues and its many gastronomic qualities. In this book you will find everything you need to know about pruning and grafting shrubs, phytosanitary care, irrigation, flowering, pollination and fruit development.
You will also find information on harvesting, preservation and processing through tasty and exotic recipes for jams, tarts and sweet and savory dishes. With this complete guide, illustrated with numerous drawings and photographs, you will discover that the actinidia is also a rather rustic ornamental plant that is well adapted to our temperate climate and can even withstand the cold.
