Grow Your Own Hardy Kiwi with Ananasnaya and Male Pollinator
Enjoy the taste of homegrown kiwi with our Hardy Kiwi Plants, featuring one Ananasnaya (female) and one male pollinator, both in 4-inch cups. These vigorous vines are hardy to zone 5 and produce a bountiful harvest of grape-sized kiwis. You’ll love the beautiful, glossy green leaves, making them an attractive addition to your garden.
The Ananasnaya kiwi is a productive vine that yields medium-sized fruits of the arguta species. These fruits hang in bunches, offering a delightful treat. For successful pollination, you need both the male and female plants. Space them 15 feet apart on a T trellis for optimal growth. Spur prune throughout the growing season to encourage earlier fruiting, enhanced productivity, and a bushier plant.
