Flavor: Widely considered the best-tasting hardy kiwi. The fruit is roughly the size of a large grape with smooth, hairless skin that can be eaten whole. It has a sweet, tropical pineapple-like aroma and a honey-sweet finish.
Growth Habit & Size: A vigorous, woody deciduous vine. It requires a strong trellis, fence, or arbor for support. If left unpruned, it can grow 15–20 feet, but it is easily maintained with annual dormant pruning.
USDA Zones: 5–9.
Pollination: Female. Requires a male pollinator (such as Optiz) nearby to produce fruit. One male can pollinate up to 6–8 female plants.
Harvest Date: Late Summer to Early Fall (September).
Shipping Note: These plants are grown in 1-liter containers to ensure a robust root system, then carefully transitioned to bare root status for shipping to reduce stress and cost.
