Kiwi : Hardy Kiwi

These kiwifruit are delicious eaten hole and don't need to be peeled! The fruits are generally green, with very thin 'fuzzless' skin and are the size of grapes. Cut open, they look much like regular kiwifruit with small black seeds, emerald green flesh with the typical 'rayed' pattern. Hardy kiwifruits are generally sweeter than regular varieties with sugar levels ranging from 14% (as with regular kiwifruit) to 29%. Plants will make an attractive addition to your garden, preferring a sunny spot where they can climb along a trellis or cover a pagoda.

Kiwi : Hayward & Tomouri

Hayward is one of the best traditional varieties to grow in the UK, because it flowers later in the season and produces a heavy crop of large fruits with superb flavour. Hayward is a self sterile female plant so it must be planted next to a male plant to provide pollen in order to produce fruit.

We recommend planting Kiwi Tomouri as a male plant as this will only produce flowers and aid pollination.

Plants can grow up to 9m (30ft) tall.

Kiwi : Jenny

Jenny is the only self-fertile variety in cultivation. Vigorous, hardy plants produce large attractive red-tipped early growth and a heavy crop of small (walnut sized) very sweet fruits in late summer. Ideal if you only have space for one of these spectacular climbers in your fruit garden.

Plants can grow up to 3.6m (12 feet) tall.
