Sweet 'n Solo Kiwi
- Self‑fertile kiwi vine that bears sweet, juicy fruit on a single plant—no male pollinizer required.
- Fast-growing, upright, semi‑twining stems reach 8–16 ft. with support for quick coverage.
- Fragrant white flowers in late spring develop a soft orange tint at full bloom.
- Deciduous vine for full sun; hardy in USDA Zones 7–9 and ideal for trellises or sunny walls.
Sweet ‘n Solo Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa ) is a self‑fertile, fast‑climbing fruiting vine that delivers reliable home harvests from a single plant. Large, heart‑shaped foliage creates a lush screen while late‑spring, lightly fragrant white blossoms (often orange‑tinted at peak) set medium‑sized, vitamin‑rich fruit. Train on a sturdy trellis, pergola, or south‑facing wall in full sun, and enjoy fall harvests after the first frost—fruit stores well for extended enjoyment.
