Issai 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.
