Vincent Kiwi Vine
Actinidia chinensis 'Vincent' (Female)
SKU
00141
Vigorous-growing vine produces tasty, egg-size fruit that mature in late autumn. Needs little winter chill and is ideal for milder climates. Flowers open creamy white and fade to buff in late spring. Despite it's name, Vincent is female, requiring a male-flowered vine to produce fruit; we recommend 'Tomuri'. Deciduous.

Prefers fertile, loamy, well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish extensive root system. Once established, water consistently; avoid soggy or overly dry soils. Fertilize in early spring and again in early summer. Prune back in late winter to control size. Provide trellis or arbor for support.
