Actinidia arguta (Hardy kiwi)

C$15.00Price
  • This kiwi variety is self-fertile and a single plant can pruduce more than 50 lbs. of fruit - very sweet if left to ripen on the vine.  The vines are vigorous, growing 20' long each season!  Pruning is best done in late winter (each stem back to 3-4 buds beyond last year's fruit area) and again in summer as needed to control plant size.  Best to train several vine stems along horizontal wires (like a grape plant) and prune off any growth that doesn't conform to the narrow plane.
