Auburn Yellow Kiwi
« on: January 30, 2022, 04:50:59 PM »
Does anyone know where to buy the Auburn patented yellow kiwi plants?  The linked retail company went out of business:

You might want to contact someone at the Auburn agriculture school. Although I have no idea where you would get that variety, I think there are people commercially growing it in Alabama. Last year I saw Alabama-grown golden kiwis at my local grocery store. I do not know whether they were from an Auburn-developed variety or not.

I'm also interested.

Anyone in your areas growing anything more tropical than a feijoa? I'm going to plant at a house in Ozark soon and want to know if pawpaws are the limit, or can I grow something like a cherimoya or mango.

I have tried calling Auburn a few times but only get an answering machine when they finally direct me to someone and I never get a call back.  These are a variety that have been trialed in my area and succeeded but I have had no luck in obtaining any plants.
