| Kiwis |
|
| Actinidia polygama |
|
A large family of vines native to Asia and Eastern Russia, Kiwis make beautiful ornamentals and provide delicious and nutritious fruit. In addition to the familiar fuzzy brown Kiwi, there are other species of Kiwi which are not so well known to American gardeners and consumers. While they differ in hardiness, vigor, and appearance, they all share Kiwis famous, sweet and delicious, emerald-green flesh (except Silver Vine, which has orange flesh). All Kiwis are great plants for the home gardener - attractive, productive, and easy to grow vines, free of pests and diseases.

Issai
A unique Hardy Kiwi variety from Japan, Issai bears heavy crops of large, sweet and delicious fruit. Less vigorous than other varieties of Hardy Kiwi, Issai can be grown on a fence or wall and is ideal for gardeners with limited space. Issai often begins bearing the year after planting and is ready to harvest in mid to late September. Issai is reportedly self-fertile although we have found that crops will be heavier and more reliable if it is planted with a male for pollination.
