Description

This is the pollinator that is needed for all hardy kiwi varieties (except self fertile Issai).  It grows very well in our area, and produces white flowers in early spring to pollinate the female hardy kiwi plants (like Anna, Ken’s Red, Meader Female, Chang Bai, Geneva).  This vine, like all hardy kiwi, can and should be pruned heavily (by 50-75%) at least 2 times a year, winter, and summer.

It likes to be watered well for the first year or so, then does well on its own after that
