The Hardy Prolific Kiwi is a vigorous vine that grows a smaller, more cold hardy fruit than the common, less aggressive than other kiwi varieties, Unlike most kiwis that require a male and female to produce fruit, Prolific is self-fertile and will independently yield delicious, grape-sized fruit. The plants are extremely durable, hardy, relatively disease and pest-free. Planted in full to part sun, the fragrant, inconspicuous flowers will bloom in early summer followed by tempting, sweet, smooth-skinned fruit in fall. These Kiwi have smooth-skinned fruits so there is no need to peel the skin of the fruits unlike the fuzzy fruit species Actinidia deliciosa. Fruits vary in size and are similar to several varieties of grapes. Plant stems and fruit buds are more cold tolerant than the A. deliciosa species and are mainly grown in colder areas where the cold temperatures can range from 10ºF to -18ºF. Fruit flavors are of course different with every cultivar, similar to all fruits. The bite-sized, 1 ½ inch green kiwis are just right for snacking. They’re sweet, high in vitamin C and fuzzless! Relatively compact vines are well suited for smaller spaces—doubly so, since only one plant is necessary to yield fruit.
