Kiwi plants losing bark
1 Response
It appears that your Kiwi plants may have experienced some mechanical damage, perhaps by a weed trimmer, or hoe. Another possibility is a small animal or rodent. If damage by animals is unlikely, over exposure to heat and sun can cause such damage. Try shading the damaged stem with a shade block. I have attached a publication that may help you regarding the cultural needs of Kiwis.

I hope this helps.
