Kiwi (Actinidia) is an attractive deciduous climbing plant, which works well as an ornamental plant. Egg-shaped, home-grown kiwis are delicious and rich in vitamin C. Plants are vigorous growers and thrive in a sheltered sunny position. Grow male and female cultivars to ensure good pollination, or opt for a self-fertile variety, if you're short on space.
Actinidia arguta 'Issai' is a compact kiwi, bearing creamy-white blooms in May followed by small, smooth fruit in late summer to early autumn. Self-fertile, it doesn’t need a pollination partner.
Grow Actinidia arguta 'Issai' up a trellis or similar frame, in fertile, moist but well-drained, neutral to acidic soil in full sun. Find out more in our Actinidia grow guide.
