Actinidia deliciosa

This robust climber blooms over a long period and is a necessary male pollinizer for fuzzy deliciosa females, as well as early-blooming hardy arguta kiwis, but not for later-blooming argutas or kolomikta kiwi varieties. This is a low-chill male best paired with Saanichton female fuzzy kiwi in low chill regions.

Low chill - will reliably flower with only 150 chill hours between 32F - 45F. Male fuzzy kiwis will usually take 1-3 years to mature to flowering age, and can stretch up to 40' long. Plant in fertile, well-drained soils with excellent drainage; plants will rot easily in wet or heavy soils. Male plants will flower and provide pollen, but do not set fruit. One male can produce enough pollen to pollinize up to 8 female fruiting plants.

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 7

Mature Size: Up to 40' Long 

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: N/A - Males Do Not Produce Fruit

Pollination: Is a Pollinizer - one Male for 6-8 Females

Beautiful plant-arrived broken

Beautiful healthy kiwi plant that unfortunately arrived with the main branch (not “trunk”) bent/broken requiring to cut it off. Since this branch was 24” and the main trunk is 24” this was a loss of 50% off the plant. Customer service did not see this as sufficient for replacement. I think the plant will live but the customer service response was disappointing and makes me very hesitant to order future plants from here. My other three plants were healthy and arrived in great shape.

A bit beat up by the post office

- but bouncing back beautifully! Obviously, you NEED this one to thrive so you can get your female plants to fruit. The vine is strong and will thrive despite the mailing.

So so

Order many items from raintree. This order was not so good. On both kiwi, the whole top was dried out and dead. Had to prune back half of the plant. Plants where very dry. I'm sure they will make it with some tlc. All in all I'm still happy with rain tree. It must be difficult sending live plants across the US.

Wonderful product and service

I have ordered mail order products from several vendors. No one supplies better plants and ships them to arrive healthy.
I highly recommend Raintree.
And their instructional videos are well produced

Male fuzzy kiwi

Our male fuzzy kiwi arrived in great shape and is thriving. We are very happy with the service and timing. We’ll have good thoughts about Raintree when we eat our fruit in the future because our female also was “born” at Raintree????
