Kiwi, Ken’s Red Hardy Kiwi

$28.00

Actinidia arguta

Hardy kiwi “berries” have sweet, smooth skinned fruits and ripen easily in the Pacific NW. You pop the whole thing in your mouth for an incredible treat! Bite-sized very sweet fruit with reddish-purple edible skin and flesh. ‘Ken’s Red’ is a vigorous grower that should be planted in full sun with support to climb on. Like most female hardy kiwi, Ken’s Red needs a hardy male kiwi for cross-pollination.

USDA Zone: 4-9

Pollination: 1 male plant required to pollinate up to 8 fruit producing female varieties planted nearby.

Time to productivity: 3-5 years until they both flower and fruit.

Size: Vines should be pruned back during winter to about 12′ long or less for best productivity. Will reach up to 40′ if left unpruned.
