(Actinidia arguta) These beautiful vines produce clusters of oblong kiwis the size of large grapes. Lacking the rough kiwi skin, these fruits can be eaten whole, like bunches of kiwi flavored seedless grapes. This fast growing vine was originally brought to this country as an ornamental. The green fruit is similar to the fuzzy kiwi in flavor though sweeter and easier to eat. The foliage is shiny green and the vines and fruit, unlike the fuzzy kiwi, are smooth skinned like a grape. Zones 5-9.
