Kiwi Magic - Hardy Kiwi Combination
- Two-in-one planting: fruiting female and male pollinizer combined for dependable harvests.
- Fragrant white spring flowers followed by smooth-skinned, delicious kiwi fruit in late season.
- Vigorous, fast-growing climber ideal for arbors, trellises, fences, and edible privacy screens.
- Thrives in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture; suited to cooler and mild climates.
Kiwi Magic Hardy Kiwi Combination pairs a fruiting female vine with a compatible male pollinizer in the same container, simplifying pollination and boosting yields. This deciduous, fast-growing climber displays glossy green foliage and fragrant white blooms in late spring to early summer, followed by an abundant crop of small, smooth-skinned kiwis that ripen late in the season. Train on a sturdy support in full sun to partial sun, keep soil evenly moist but never soggy, and enjoy a high-impact edible accent that covers structures quickly and beautifully.
Botanical Name
Actinidia arguta (male) + Actinidia arguta ‘Issai’ (female); deciduous, twining vine.
Pollination
Includes both a male and female plant in one container to ensure reliable pollination and higher fruit set—no separate pollinizer purchase required.
Size & Growth
Quickly climbs 20–25 ft. tall and spreads 12–20 ft. with support; fast growth rate and vigorous, climbing habit.
Hardiness & Exposure
Hardy in USDA Zones 4–8. Best in full sun to partial sun; provide protection from extreme drying winds where possible.
Bloom & Fruit
- Bloom: Late spring to early summer; fragrant, showy white flowers.
- Fruit: Small, smooth-skinned kiwis (no peeling required) maturing late season; sweetest flavor with ample sun and steady moisture.
Soil & Water
- Soil: Fertile, loamy, well-drained soils are ideal.
- Water: Keep soil consistently moist—water deeply and regularly during establishment, then maintain even moisture without waterlogging.
- Mulch: Apply organic mulch to moderate soil temperature and conserve moisture.
Feeding & Pruning
- Fertilizer: Feed in early spring and again in early summer.
- Pruning: Prune in late winter to control size and shape; remove tangled, weak, or crossing shoots and maintain a trained framework.
Support & Training
Requires a sturdy trellis, arbor, fence, or wire framework. Train primary leaders horizontally and tie in new shoots for airflow, light, and easy harvest.
Landscape Uses
- Arbors, pergolas, trellises, and espaliered fences.
- Edible privacy screens and garden rooms.
- Ornamental accent with seasonal flowers and fruit.
Care Tips
- Maintain even moisture during flowering and fruit set for best yields.
- Avoid soggy or extremely dry soils; both reduce fruit quality.
- Harvest when fruit softens slightly and flavors develop fully.
