Kiwi vineTwigs and Buds

Actinidia Arguta, Hardy Kiwi

Class: Vine
Genus: Actinidia
Species: Arguta

This dioecious vine is often suggested as a substitute for the true kiwi. Both male and female vines
must be grown in order to obtain fruit. The fragrant, white flowers are followed by green, hairless, edible fruit. The plant tolerates a range of growing conditions and requires regular pruning
