Actinidia arguta 'Prolific'
Kiwi, Prolific
Hardy kiwi's fast-growing, deciduous vines produce delicious and nutritious fruit. Less aggressive than other kiwi varieties, Prolific is ideal for trellises or fences. Prolific is self-fertile and will independently yield delicious, grape-sized fruit. The plants are extremely hardy, disease and pest-free. The bite-sized, 1 ½ inch green kiwis are sweet, high in vitamin C. Compact vines are good for smaller spaces, especially since only one plant is necessary to yield fruit.
