Kiwi Plants (Female) - Actinidia arguta Jumbo + weikii Male in 11 cm Pot Approx 60cm Tall

• In 11 cm pots - 60 cm tall established plants
• Abountiful harvest and simply enjoy the aesthetic appeal of the vines
• Mediterranean style
• A female form of the hardy ‘baby’ kiwi, Actinidia argut, fast-growing deciduous vine, smaller than most kiwis. The leaves are oval to long, deep green, and bristly.

The cream-coloured, scented flowers appear in June, followed by small fruits, about the size of a large gooseberry, cylindrical with a pointed end. They have a smooth skin and both skin and flesh are deep wine-red. The taste is sweeter than that of standard kiwi fruit, and the fruit should not be picked until it has softened slightly and sweetened. Provide a strong framework to train it into, and do not over-fertilise, as this will reduce flowering and fruiting. As a female cultivar, Kiwi arguta must be grown with a male pollinator. Site: Sheltered Soil: Moist but well drained soil, preferably acid Position: Full sun Pick: Late September–October Keep: Under-ripe fruit can be kept in the fridge for 4–6 weeks. Hardiness: Very hardy Pollination: Needs a male pollinator
