Jenny is a popular variety of kiwi known for its high productivity and delicious flavour. It is the only self-fertile, hardy kiwi variety in cultivation, and its fruit which are medium-sized can be harvested in late summer into autumn. The Kiwi is a vigorous climber (anything up to 8m) and needs to be trained on wire on a wall or fence or through trees like Alder. They like warmth and plenty of sunshine.
Pollination: Self fertilising
Harvest time: September/ October/ November
Grown as: Container (3l)
Hardiness: Very hardy ( known as the Hardy Kiwi)
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.
