Description
KIWIBERRY COLLECTION
Actinidia arguta
Anna Kiwi is one of the most popular berry Kiwis found in the markets today. The fruits are about 3/4-inch diameter and light green. The flavors are similar to a pineapple, sweet and slightly tart. The vines will begin to bear favorable yields in the third season, producing some 4 pounds at the start and up to 20 pounds of fruits when they reach their peak. To ensure cross-pollination, the gardener must plant the aggressive male Meader, which also blooms but does not fruit.
Geneva Kiwi is a smaller fruit compensated by a concentrated sweetness and really prolific production. It fruits in the third season and at maturity will produce many hundreds of fruits-up to 20 pounds of fruit per vine. Meader kiwi is needed for cross-pollination.
Meader Kiwi is a male that is planted to pollinate Anna and Geneva. The male will not produce fruit-only pollen. One male, like a king with a harem, will pollinate up to six Anna and Geneva.
