Actinidia chinensis (Female) (Female Kiwi Fruit)

Actinidia chinensis (Female) (Female Kiwi Fruit) is a vigorous deciduous climbing plant grown for its delicious, fuzzy-skinned, and sweet-tasting fruit. This female variety produces the classic brown, egg-shaped kiwifruit with vibrant green flesh and tiny black seeds. To produce fruit, it requires a male kiwi plant nearby for pollination. The plant features large, heart-shaped leaves and attractive, creamy-white flowers in spring. It is a strong-growing vine that needs a sturdy support structure like a pergola, trellis, or fence.

Ideal for sunny walls, pergolas, or as a productive screen, the female kiwi plant thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. It requires ample space for its vigorous growth and consistent moisture, especially during fruit development. This plant is valued for its abundant harvest of nutritious fruit, ornamental foliage, and its ability to create a lush, green canopy.
