Ken's Red Hardy Kiwi

A new hardy A. arguta x melanandra kiwi producing cherry sized fruits with red skin and flesh which is sweet and delicious. Needs male arguta for pollination

These fast growing 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. 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. USDA Zones 5-9. The vines are very vigorous and productive and need a strong support.
