Arctic Beauty Hardy Kiwi
Non-Fuzzy, Eat Like Grapes!

  (1 customer reviews)

Eat these sweet, delicious, bright green kiwis just like grapes-the medium size fruit of the Arctic Beauty Kiwi has smooth skin! Male plant must be planted for cross-pollination-only the female plant produces fruit. Striking variegated foliage is especially intense in the male plant, with a hot pink, cream and emerald-green pattern. Usually reaches peak color within 2-3 years of planting. vines do not reach as far as other kiwis, making it easier to train on a fence or trellis.

Potted plants.

Zones: 3-8.

love them
Reviewed By: Dave (Pittsburgh, Pa)
I bought a pair of these plants 2 years ago. They were very slow to grow the first year because of little rain. Last year they started to take off. This spring they grew with vigor one would have to see to believe. The deer niped the new shoots in the spring, but they recovered with vigor. I am hoping now to see them set fruit. I couldn't be happier with their amazing vigor.
