| Issai Kiwi - Actinidia arguta | Kens Red Hardy Female Kiwi - Actinidia arguta |
|---|---|
Issai has long fruits @ 1.5". Issai will produce one year after planting. Sets fruits without a male, but sets more with one. Not as vigorous as most arguta types, but similar in most respects. Less pruning required because of its early fruiting and spur type growth. Plant 8' apart on 6' trellis. Zones 6-9.
|
Fruits turn red when ripe. Flesh is red, mild and very sweet. Since Ken's Red is a female be sure to order a male to insure fruit set. Low-chill variety. Can be grown successfully in Gulf states. One of the largest hardy kiwis. Space 10' to 15' apart on 6' tall trellis. Zones 6-9.

| Anna Hardy Female Kiwi (Ananasnaya) - Actinidia arguta | Dumbarton Oaks Hardy Female Kiwi - Actindia arguta |
Anna's grape-size fruits hang in bunches on this most vigorous productive vine. Spacing 15' apart. A good beginner kiwi, easy to get growing. Very productive, also called Ananasnaya. The fruits are medium size and of the arguta species. Not the Russian kolomikta species with the similar name. Space on a T trellis @ 15' apart. Ripens later in the season than Dumbarton Oaks female by about 3 weeks. Very ornamental with showy red leaf stems. Needs a mate. Spur prune throughout the growing season for earlier fruiting and greatest productivity and bushy appearance. Zones 5-9.
