   So picking kiwi fruits, what is it like. First of all, an answer to my mom, kiwi fruits grow on vines. I don't know how to describe the vines other than the fruits are hanging from the roof of this canopy built from kiwi fruit vines. And from that we keep just picking them in to our bags and then empty the load to great bins. The picking is very fast. Just pickpickpickpick... Much nicer than picking mandarins for there is no time to think about the picking. Just pickpickpick all day. However the job is pretty erratic since we can't pick when it's raining or when the fruit is wet. Check the pics for the kiwi fruit fields.
