Kalem Berntsen (born: )https://www.deviantart.com/kalemberntsen/abouthttps://trendingamerican.com/the-kiwi-grower/, better known online as The Kiwi Grower, is a New Zealand gardener and YouTuber who is best known for his gardening tutorials and vlogs on growing and eating rare and unusual editable plants. He created his channel in 2012 and started uploading the same year. His first video was on how to grow coconut palms from a de-husked coconut. 
== Channel History & Growth ==
He used to upload consistently from 2012 to 2013 but stopped uploading for 5 years until 2018 due to him moving to a new more rural area and his old job. He ended up doing gardening content creation full time since 2018. 
His channel was rather obscure, rarely getting more than 5K views, until 2021 when he uploaded a couple gardening vlogs that went viral, such as his avocado growing tutorial and his vlog of him growing seeds he got from supermarket fruits. On his Facebook he reported that in October 2021 he went from 85K subs to 150K. Now his videos regularly get more than 100K views and some of his older videos even got more traction.
