Cordifolia Hardy Kiwi

Actinidia arguta var. cordifolia

Our Cordifolia is a female variety of arguta hardy kiwi that is prized for its especially sweet fruit, as compared to other hardy argutas. The fruit is roundish, the plant is very productive, and the bloom is early.

Allow the vines 3-5 years to begin flowering and fruiting. Requires male hardy arguta or early-blooming fuzzy deliciosa for pollination.
