One of the most hardy of the fuzzy skinned Kiwis. A vigorous deciduous climber, hosting heart shaped leaves bursting through in the spring. This is followed by creamy white flowers in early summer and ovoid brown fruits in the autumn. Harvest from November, ripen fruits indoors. Eat when the fruit fiber has softened. Amazing flavour.
Pollination: Self fertilising
Harvest time: November to March
Grown as: Container (2 litre)
Hardiness: Very hardy down to minus 20
Aspect: To climb up through a small tree or large bush. They do well here at the Forest Garden Falmouth climbing up through an Alder tree.
