Optiz Hardy Kiwi Berry

Optiz Hardy Kiwi Berry (Male Pollinator)

Flavor: This is a non-fruiting variety. It is grown specifically for its fragrant flowers that provide the pollen necessary for female varieties to produce fruit.

Growth Habit & Size: A very vigorous climbing vine. Like the female plants, it will reach 15–20 feet and requires a sturdy support structure. It features attractive green foliage and is often used ornamentally.

USDA Zones: 5–9.

Pollination: Male. This plant does not produce fruit, but it is essential for the pollination of female varieties like Anna. One Optiz male is sufficient to pollinate multiple female vines.

Harvest Date: N/A (Non-fruiting pollinator).

Shipping Note: These plants are grown in 1-gallon pots to ensure a robust root system, then carefully transitioned to bare root status for shipping to reduce stress and cost.
