Hardy Kiwi Vine

The Hardy Kiwi Vine (Actinidia arguta 'Issai') is a vigorous deciduous vine prized for its delicious, edible fruit and attractive foliage. Characterized by its fast-growing and twining habit, this kiwi vine showcases deep green, heart-shaped leaves that provide a lush backdrop for its small, sweet kiwi fruits. The 'Issai' variety is particularly valued for its self-fertile nature, meaning it does not require a separate male plant for fruit production, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or container cultivation. Typically reaching a height of 15 to 20 feet, it is well-suited for trellises, arbors, or as a ground cover in sunny to partially shaded locations. The Hardy Kiwi Vine is relatively low-maintenance and prefers well-draining, fertile soil. With its attractive foliage, fragrant white flowers, and delicious fruit, it is an excellent choice for gardeners and homeowners looking to add a unique and productive plant to their outdoor environments.
