Self-pollinating actinidia VITIKIWI

Self-pollinating actinidia with large, seedless, very tasty and aromatic fruit that can be eaten without peeling. This deciduous climbing vine has flexible shoots and grows 6-8 m long, with annual growth of 2-3 m. Productive and self-pollinating, although a nearby male plant can increase the harvest. Flowers in June. The oval green fruit is about 3 cm long and 2 cm wide, and is almost seedless. Harvest in October; begins fruiting 2-3 years after planting.

Plant in a warm, sunny, sheltered location with fertile, moist, well-drained soil, at the same depth as in the pot and 2-4 m from other plants. Sensitive to spring frosts. Provide support such as wires, a gazebo or fence. Prune at the end of winter, removing older branches that have fruited for more than four years.
