Has anyone grown James Wong's cocktail kiwi?  How ornamental/attractive does it look? 

I have one to plant out next spring and I'm not sure where to plant it.  I can put it in the veg garden, but if I put it in the flower garden it will get more sun.  I know it will need a frame to climb, but will it look ok in a cottage garden?  (Which is not particularly tidy.)

I planted one on a south facing wall last spring. It has made decent growth in the first year, nothing spectacular. It looks similar to a normal kiwi plant so will look nice enough climbing around at the back of a flower border, but will lose its leaves in the winter.

Thanks Totty, I have space at the back of a sunny border.  And it should look good if it gets ever gets some fruit on  it.

I was also looking at these yesterday on the Sutton's web site. I like the idea of turning them into gummy sweets  :D

Totty, what do they taste like?
