Have you grown fuzzy kiwi before? Do you have late spring frosts and lots of warm spells during winter?
I’m in a zone 6b/7a climate in middle TN. My experience with fuzzy kiwi is that they do not tolerate fluctuating winter temps well at all, at least for the first 2-3 years. Mine (seedlings from Qinmei) would die back after every winter until they got older. The fruits also never get ripe here, so if you don’t have a really long growing season, then you may consider earlier ripening varieties over any claims of hardiness.
I would really recommend you look into the Auburn yellow kiwis. The yellow kiwis are much more tolerant of fluctuating temps. Their ‘AU Golden Sunshine’ has a later budbreak and relatively late bloom period, so avoids spring frosts better. They also ripen much earlier and should easily ripen for you. In my opinion they also taste WAY better than fuzzy kiwi. You can find the ordering information here:
