Issai Hardy Kiwi

Description

Full sun, Partial shade, Zone 3

Actinidia arguta ‘Issai’

Pot size #1

A hardy vine that produces hairless, smooth, sweet, and edible green fruit. The great thing about this Kiwi is that it does not require a male pollinator to set fruit. The climbing vine is very hardy and adaptable. Mid to late Spring there are dainty white buttercup flowers with yellow anthers that will spawn an abundance of green berries in early Fall.

This is a high maintenance plant that requires regular care and upkeep. Because it is a climbing vine it should be planted next to a support structure. It prefers to grow in moist conditions and shouldn’t be allowed to dry out. It can grow to a height of 20ft and a spread of 10ft.
