These fast-growing, beautiful vines produce clusters of oblong kiwi fruits the size of large grapes. Originally brought to this country as an ornamental due to the attractive pink and white patching on the leaves, the green fruit is similar to the fuzzy kiwi in flavor, though sweeter and easier to eat. The smooth-textured vines are very vigorous and need some kind of support. Training a fruiting female vine up the legs or railings of a deck, or along an unattractive chain link fence, can create a great tropical effect and be uniquely easy to harvest! Kolomiktas bloom too early to be pollinated by arguta or deliciosa males. Hardy to -40F.
