Description
Actinidia arguta Bayern Kiwi’ is a kiwi grape that produces small, smooth, hairless fruits at a young age. It is also known as mini-kiwi. This plant is a female variant of the kiwi grape. When this plant is pollinated by a male variant, it produces fruit. The fruits of the kiwi grape are a lot smaller than those of the large kiwi plants. The skin of these kiwi grapes is smooth and thin and therefore easy to eat. They hang in large bunches from the plant, often camouflaged between the leaves. The cut fruit resembles a miniature kiwi, with a white core surrounded by a ring of black seeds and the typical pattern of lines. The sweet, dark-green berries with a beautiful red blush are ready for picking in September-October and are about 3 cm in size. Besides being fresh, the fruits can also be processed in various ways, such as jam or compote. The sliced fruits are also beautiful as a garnish for appetizers or desserts. The fruits are also dried and can even be used to make wine. The kiwi grape is a climbing plant and therefore you can best help it by guiding it along a wall, climbing frame or pergola. The kiwi grape flowers in May-June with fragrant white flowers. It is fully winter Hardy and can tolerate temperatures up to -25 °C. Plant the kiwi plant in a sunny, somewhat sheltered spot.
