That Yellow Bliss is super late ripening, there is no way it will ripen for me. So only low latitudes for it I would say.
Not yellow but I recently saw some seeds for pink flesh kiwis on Etsy, I think they are some European varieties. See this one for example:
Not sure if they are legitimate, does anyone knows the name of the variety, ive been looking for it for long time.
I am also a kiwi freak from europe
I got some of those seeds from that seller, none sprouted. I guess the pink-flesh kiwi will remain a mystery.
I am now eating my harvest of HongYang kiwis which have a bit of red in the flesh. They are excellent! I had not liked them in past years but I must have not been ripening them well.
Uau thats very late, when was your harvest?
I harvest all my fuzzy kiwis before the first hard frost which is late November here. Then I store them until February. The earlier-ripening ones I am eating now, Soreli and HongYang. They start to get mushy soon, there is about a one-month window when they are best.
Very nice.
I assume people who grow a decent amount of kiwi and pears have dedicated refrigerators for them?
As I type I’m planning out my kiwi trellis. I’m thinking of 4x4’s spaced 11 feet apart and 4 feet wide. 46 foot length, so 5 pairs of 4x4’s. Will put cross members each direction and use 50"x16’ cattle panels on top.
2 Saanichton, 1 Elmwood.
Still figuring out how to grow the male. Might just stick it in there and limit the wood.
People like this gives me nausea

This is the variety Hongyang I believe. There are a couple of other red fleshed varieties— not here yet in US to the best of my knowledge, chuhong and donghong.
I just wanted to add another variety that doesn’t seem to be listed so far. It is called Yellow Queen, and I am trying it out because it is available here in the Vancouver, Canada area. I planted one in early September, 2021; and it is producing abundant flowers this year. An article from the Netherlands states that it doesn’t ripen there in a commercial setting, but I have it placed against a south-facing wall, which might give it a chance here.
