Actinidia arguta

This is the later-flowering male hardy kiwi, making it an excellent pollinizer for later-flowering hardy female kiwis such as Annanasnaja, Chang Bai and Jumbo. Not a good pollinizer for the later-flowering fuzzy deliciosa kiwis. 

Male hardy kiwis will usually take 3-5 years to mature to flowering age, and can stretch up to 40' long. Plant in fertile, well-drained soils and full-to-part sun; hardy kiwis prefer a little afternoon shade in hotter regions. 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: 5

Mature Size: Up to 40' Long

Sun: Full Sun to Afternoon Shade in hot climates

Ripening Time: n/a - Male plants do not make fruit

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

Beautiful plant!

I couldn't be happier with the condition of this plant when it arrived. You'd think it came from a local greenhouse. I can't wait to enjoy some berries!

Great looking Plants

I have ordered and failed at growing hardy kiwi in my garden before. I am hoping that these plants do well. When they arrived last fall, they were the finest looking best packaged kiwi plants I have ever received through the mail. They are both leafing out now after are long winter. Have my fingers crossed.
