Actinidia

(Kiwi Vine) Deliciosa Jenny

The Actinidia Deliciosa Jenny is a vigorous, self-fertile kiwi vine with large, heart-shaped leaves and creamy white flowers that turn golden yellow. It climbs to about 600 cm in height and spreads 300-400 cm in width at maturity when trained on a sturdy trellis, pergola or wires. Plant 1 per 3-4 metres of fence or wall, since one plant is enough to set fruit and no male partner is needed. After a few years it rewards you with sweet, brown, hairy kiwi fruits in autumn, and the flowers are popular with bees. It is ideal for a sunny wall, pergola or garden fence. Seasonal changes may affect whether the plant arrives with flowers or fruits.

Plant the Actinidia in a sunny to lightly shaded, sheltered spot for the best growth and fruiting. It prefers rich, well-draining, slightly acidic soil that stays evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first years and in pots, as container-grown plants dry out much faster. Provide a strong support and tie in the shoots as they grow. Prune in winter to shape the framework and shorten side shoots after the fruit, and avoid cutting in spring when the sap rises. The plant is hardy, but protect young plants and pots with fleece or a layer of mulch during the first hard frosts.
