This is an unknown highly productive female variety that we think is Ananasnaya (Anna). Check back with us in a few years, and we should know. This Hardy Kiwi tree is no and is highly productive.

The fruit of this Hardy Kiwi is 6–14 grams each. Tree is 60–150 Pounds Per Vine, blooms from May to June with white and cream flowers. It is can be pollinated by other species of kiwi, like fuzzy kiwi and but the resulting seed is usually sterile. It is vertically vining, fast growing and . Pruning in the winter is highly recommended. Based on a ‘cane replacement’. In all trellising cases and one stem is trained up to a wire at six+ feet and then allowed to grow along the wire(s). When growth ends in a “pig-tailing” of the shoot and it is cut behind the entanglement and new a shoot allowed to grow from a leaf base. After two years multiple shoots will now emerge from the lateral mainline. During the growing season and each lateral cane will send out a new shoot about 1/3 of the way from its own starting point. The next winter and prune off the older cane at the point that it connects with last summers new shoot. This process repeats itself every year. USDA Hardiness Zones: 3-8.

Unlike other species of kiwi, these large grape sized and smooth skinned kiwifruit are often eaten straight off the vine. After popping a whole one in your mouth, you will get a burst of flavor that is more intense, unique, and sweeter than a standard fuzzy kiwi. Hardy Kiwis require a male pollinator. Hardy kiwifruits drop or come off easily when they are ripe. Usually they are picked at the mature-ripe stage and allowed to ripen off of the vine as is done with fuzzy kiwifruit.
