Test germination:
To determine if the seeds are viable, you can perform a germination test. Simply dampen a paper towel or piece of sphagnum moss, place the seeds on top, and wrap them in plastic wrap or put them in a plastic bag. Keep the seeds in a warm, bright location and check them regularly for signs of germination. If the seeds sprout within a few weeks, they are likely viable and can be planted.
It’s important to note that even if a kiwi fruit has viable seeds, the resulting plant may not produce the same type of kiwi fruit as the parent plant. Kiwi trees are typically propagated through grafting, which ensures that the resulting tree will produce the same type of fruit as the parent plant. Nonetheless, growing a kiwi tree from seed can still be a fun and rewarding project.
