(Actinidia species) These are a family of fast growing vines that produce edible fruit and are beautiful ornamental plants. Each type of kiwi we list has different ornamental foliage. The fruit of each type is different in size and appearance, but all have the bright green flesh and the wonderful kiwi flavor. All are hardy in the Pacific NW. If you live in a colder climate you can still grow the Kolomikta and the Arguta Kiwis. We offer sturdy vines.
This fuzzy kiwi from England regularly produces huge quantities of delicious fuzzy kiwis. The sweet fruit is smaller than store bought kiwis and ripens late in the season staying on the plant and edible after frosts. In England it is reportedly self fertile but we cannot verify that. We recommend a male fuzzy pollinizer.
