Mitchel, about 10 years ago we drove your ocean highway from LA to San Francisco. About 45 minutes from San Francisco we stopped at a kiwi u-pick. We picked 10 pounds and flew them home to Florida. The grower told us how to ripen them. The fruit was mature and when ripened it was hard to believe how good a Kiwi can be. Most of the Kiwi in the market has been stored too long and the flavor is lost. Unfortunately most people take the inferior taste as the normal. The grower was growing it in an arbor style and it would work well for you. My worry is that I am also in zone 10 and when I tried to grow kiwi it failed. It would grow one season and then die off. Maybe you are a little cooler. I sure would grow it if I could.
