Some hardy kiwi (kiwi berry) from my collection.
They are also known as kiwi berries, mini kiwi, kiwai.
Most that I grow are quite hardy and can be grown in zones 6, 5 and even 4b with microclimate.
They can be propagated from cuttings or as a graft. Cuttings are available in winter time.
Hardy kiwi Kyivska Krupnoplidna
Among the biggest (in fruit size) varieties of hardy kiwi in the world, probably the largest.
Each one has a different nuances of taste.
Say, one has some notes of grapes and the other has some tropical fruit flavor.
Most are better tasting than fuzzy kiwi from the stores.
Thank you for your list!
I will try to get all of these eventually!
I also have to recommend that people get it start with a self fruitful variety like Issai and a male, then add others.
There’s been a shortage of good male hardy kiwis in the US and the unnamed seedlings often die leaving your kiwis unpolinated, so try to get a named male or self fruitful varieties first.
