Delicious and nutritious.
This vine produces a smooth-skinned kiwi that is exceptionally sweet, containing 20% natural sugar, and packs eight times the vitamin C of an orange! This versatile variety flourishes in most conditions, aside from extremely moist soil. It is highly prolific, yielding up to 100 pounds of fruit each year. The vine grows quickly and needs a robust support system in place either before or shortly after planting to manage its rapid growth. Heat-tolerant. Ripens in late August. Self-pollinating.

In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You’ll get fruit with only one plant!
