Hardy Kiwi Vine ‘Ken’s Red’ Set (Actinidia purpurea x melanandra)
Clusters of sweet, smooth fruit are ready for harvest from September through October. The bite-sized, colorful fruit boasts reddish-purple skin and flesh and it’s eaten like a grape – skin and all. ‘Ken’s Red’ is a vigorous grower that should be planted in full sun with support to climb on. Like most female hardy kiwi, ‘Ken’s Red’ needs a hardy male kiwi for cross-pollination. This set includes one ‘Clark’ male hardy kiwi that blooms earlier and will cross pollinate both ‘Ken’s Red’ and ‘Anna’ kiwis. One male plant can pollinate up to 8 female plants. Once plants are mature, fruit yield can reach 100 pounds in a single season. Hardy kiwi plants have excellent pest and disease resistance. Hardy in zones 4-9.
This Hardy Kiwi Vine set includes:
• 1 Hardy Kiwi Vine ‘Ken’s Red’ - 4" Pot (Female)
• 1 Hardy Kiwi Vine ‘Clark’ - 4" Pot (Male)
