Kiwiberry\u00a0(<\/i>Actinidia arguta)\u00a0<\/i>‘Issai’<\/p>\n
This fast-growing vigorous perennial climbing vine is very hardy and produces smooth hairless grape sized fruit with the same delicious taste of the kiwi fruit.<\/p>\n
Kiwi Berry \u2018Issai\u2019 originates from Japan and is a rare self-fertile medium vigour\u00a0variety that will begin to fruit in its first or 2nd growing season.\u00a0 It is a vine that can be grown on a trellis, fence or pergola.\u00a0 It is a very hardy plant that is frost tolerant and disease resistant. It is also known\u00a0as hardy kiwi, baby kiwi, arctic kiwi and hardy kiwifruit.<\/p>\n
Ideal for small backyards it is a low chill variety but\u00a0 the vines are very frost hardy ( -15 degrees C) and it will fruit well in both cool and warm\u00a0 climates. In QLD and areas with hot summer climates, it is very important\u00a0 to grow the vines in a sheltered, partly shaded position protected from hot dry winds and intense summer heat in the hottest parts of the day. They will crop well in partial sun and are shade tolerant. \u00a0 Requiring regular watering throughout the growing season they prefer well-drained fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5.\u00a0 \u00a0On a trellis the vines are planted 3m apart.<\/p>\n
The kiwiberry is closely related to the kiwi fruit and has high levels of anti-oxidants, vitamin c, vitamin A and potassium.<\/p>\n
These self-fertile kiwi berry vines \u00a0are 6-8 months old, 40-70cm tall.<\/p>\n
