Actinidia arguta (Geneva 3)

The Geneva 3 kiwi is part of the Dr. Slate collection, originally discovered near Hedrick Hall at the Cornell Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. It is the third variety in the Geneva series and has been reliably producing at our nursery since 1990. The medium-sized, round, shouldered fruit ripens mid-season, between Dumbarton Oaks and Anna. This is a female kiwi, so be sure to order a male variety (listed below) for cross-pollination. Best suited for Zones 5-8.
