This self-fertile variety allows you to grow kiwi fruit without needing a separate male pollinator, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners looking to add a unique fruit-bearing climber to their landscape. Its fast-growing nature and ornamental foliage make it equally attractive on trellises, arbors, and pergolas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Issai Hardy Kiwi produces abundant crops of small, grape-sized fruit that can be eaten fresh, added to salads, or used in jams and desserts. The vine is dioecious but this variety is self-fruitful, so a single plant can bear fruit. It performs best in full sun to partial shade with well-draining, fertile soil, and benefits from a sturdy support structure for the twining growth. Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage airflow, which supports healthy growth and reliable fruiting.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Actinidia arguta\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Issai\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Perennial fruiting vine\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Climbing, twining vine\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-draining, fertile loam\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 2 to 3 years after planting\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3 to 8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 10 to 15 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Self-fertile variety; requires sturdy trellis or arbor for support\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664690118792,"sku":"BTR-291","price":77.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_f42e51e7-0cee-4bbf-b971-a6755d8eb042.png?v=1791897612","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-live-plants-issai-hardy-kiwi-actinidia-arguta-starter-vines","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
