Actinidia Deliciosa

Design with this plant

Overview

Actinidia deliciosa, commonly known as Kiwi or Chinese Gooseberry, is a vigorous, woody vine reaching lengths up to 30 feet. This dioecious plant requires both male and female for pollination, ensuring fruit set. Large, heart-shaped leaves enhance its ornamental value, while the brown, fuzzy fruit adds a late-season appeal. Preferring well-drained soil, it thrives in USDA zones 7-9 with partial to full sun and requires sturdy support for its twining growth.
