Description
The kiwiberry bears smooth-skinned, grape-sized fruits that can be eaten whole with the skin, much like grapes. They taste sweeter and more aromatic than the larger kiwi. It is significantly frost-hardy, making it suitable for harsher climates. Self‑fertile varieties such as 'Issai' do not require a male pollinator.
Care instructions
Plant the kiwiberry in a sunny to partially shaded spot with humus-rich, evenly moist soil and provide a sturdy trellis or pergola. Prune in late winter (February, week 8) because it is very vigorous. Harvest the fruits from September (week 38) when they soften, or pick them slightly earlier for post‑ripening.
