A self-fertile kiwi plant with very large fruits
This variety of kiwi, with its large, round leaves and self-fertilizing flowers, doesn't need to be accompanied to produce fruit!
In fact, once well established, this plant will produce large fruits, around 7 cm long and 5 cm in diameter, which will increase in number over the years.
The fruits are sparsely hairy, with juicy, sweet green flesh.
Its voluble vine-like habit makes it ideal for trellising along a wall or arbour, in a sunny position sheltered from the wind.
