Matua
China (New Zealand)
-
-
Matua is a male kiwi variety. Its role is to pollinate female varieties, most commonly Hayward. It does not produce commercially usable fruit – it blooms abundantly and serves as a pollinator. Matua originates from New Zealand, where it was developed within kiwi breeding programs to ensure reliable pollination of female varieties. Today, it is used worldwide and is considered the standard pollinator in most kiwi plantations.
-
Matua does not form fruit. If "fruit" appears on Matua, these are only small, sterile, inedible berries that do not develop into real kiwi.
-
Very good frost resistance (up to -15°C if fully mature). Usually tolerates drought well but requires regular irrigation for proper development. Healthy variety, rarely affected by disease. No significant pests; the only risk is late spring frost, which can damage buds.
You can purchase seedlings of Kiwi Matua (male) Tree at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
