Prolific Hardy Kiwi 1 Live Fruiting Vine, 3 Gallon Pot – Actinidia arguta ‘Prolific’

Prolific Hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta ‘Prolific’) is a vigorous, deciduous fruiting vine valued for its attractive green foliage, climbing growth habit, and small, smooth-skinned edible kiwi fruit. Also known as Hardy Kiwi or Kiwi Berry, this perennial vine produces grape-sized fruits that can be eaten without peeling when fully ripe. It is suitable for edible landscapes, garden trellises, arbors, and other sturdy climbing supports.

During spring, Prolific Hardy Kiwi develops fresh green foliage and small, creamy white flowers. Under suitable growing conditions, these flowers may develop into clusters of smooth, green kiwi berries that typically ripen in late summer or fall. The fruit has a sweet flavor when ripe and is smaller than the fuzzy kiwifruit commonly found in grocery stores. The ‘Prolific’ cultivar is commonly described as self-fertile, although fruit production may vary with growing conditions and pollination.

Prolific Hardy Kiwi grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Its vigorous, twining growth habit makes it appropriate for trellises, arbors, and other strong supports. As a deciduous perennial vine, it naturally loses its leaves and becomes dormant during winter. Flowering and fruiting depend on plant maturity, seasonal conditions, and successful pollination.

Each order includes 1 live Prolific Hardy Kiwi vine supplied in a 3-gallon nursery container (G3).
