Hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta)
Estimated delivery between Mars 28 and Mars 31.
Hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta), also known as Baby Kiwi or Kiwiberry, is a cold-hardy vine that produces small, smooth-skinned fruits with a sweet, tangy flavor, much like the traditional kiwi but without the fuzz. Native to East Asia, this vine thrives in temperate climates and can withstand colder temperatures compared to its larger, fuzzier counterpart. Hardy Kiwi fruits are nutrient-packed, offering an excellent source of Vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. The fruit is typically eaten whole, skin and all, making it convenient and easy to enjoy. The vine itself is an attractive addition to gardens, with lush green leaves and small, fragrant flowers in the spring. It’s an ideal choice for home gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, fruit-bearing vine that produces an abundance of small, sweet kiwis in the fall.
