‘Pink Jumbo’ is one of the largest fruited of all mini varieties, producing Kiwis weighing around 10g each. Pink on the outside and green on the inside!

The oval fruits are ready to harvest in September, packed with Vitamin C and delicious eaten straight from the vine.It has a sweet flavour and an earlier ripening time in September than other hardy Kiwis. Height and spread: 3-4m (10-13ft).

The perfect match for ‘Pink Jumbo’, ‘Prince Jumbo’ is a non-fruiting vigorous male clone that serves as an indispensable pollinator for all Actinidia arguta varieties. Creamy-white flowers are produced prolifically and reliably in June on a fast-growing vine which can easily be kept compact with pruning. Height and spread: up to 8 metres (26ft).

Kiwi arguta, also known as the Baby Kiwi or Hardy Kiwi, is ideal for growing in the UK. Fully hardy, they survive temperatures down to -15 to -10C. Hardy Kiwi produce masses of small, smooth, gooseberry-sized fruit that are sweeter than other Kiwis and don’t need to be peeled as they lack the hair-like covering of other Kiwi fruits. Established vines can produce up to 13kg of fruit. They form fast-growing, twining climbers with simple ovate leaves and fragrant, creamy-white flowers in summer and make attractive features for a trellis, pergola or wall in a sunny, south-facing position.
