A large family of vines native to Asia, Kiwis add beauty to the landscape and provide nutritious and delicious fruit. Easy to grow, very productive and pest and disease free, they are among our favorite plants. All Kiwis require a male plant for pollination. Hardy and Fuzzy Kiwi varieties generally pollinate other. Arctic Beauty Kiwi male blooms too pollinate other species.

This beautiful and very hardy, compact vine allows gardeners in the far north to grow delicious Kiwi-like fruit. Arctic Beauty Kiwi often begins bearing sweet, flavorful and smooth-skinned fruit the year after planting. Both a male and a female plant are required for fruit production. The male is prized as an ornamental for its striking, pink, white, and green variegated leaves, while our female varieties usually have some variegation, but it is less pronounced. Variegation often does not show until the plant is 2 to 3 years old. Arctic Beauty Kiwi is hardy to minus 40°F, likes some shade and well-drained soil, and is not bothered by pests or diseases.
