Sold Out. Kiwiberries Kens Red Actinidia arguta is a female variety of this perennial hardy kiwi vine which produces grape-sized berries with an intense tropical taste that do not require peeling. In 3 to 4 years of planting you will get a kiwi with sweet tasting fruit that is a reddish purple in color and yielding up to 100 pounds. Kens Red flowers in May and the fruit is ready for picking in September / October timeframe.
Native to east Asia, the kiwiberry is a smooth-skinned relative of the fuzzy supermarket kiwi but is far superior in flavor. The fruit can be eaten out of hand or incorporated into any number of sweet tasty dishes and baked goods.
Kiwis require full sun and a sturdy trellis and yearly pruning for the best results. You will also need a male variety close for cross pollination, but keep in mind that a male kiwi can pollinate up to 8 females.
