Zespri green Kiwi f1 1.

A hermaphrodite (self-pollinating) hybrid variety that does not require male trees to produce fruit, making it ideal for planting in small or large spaces. This variety is characterized by rapid growth, early fruiting in just 2 to 3 years, and abundant production of small to medium-sized fruits with a sweet taste and a firm, juicy texture. Its plants bloom with greenish-white flowers, and the fruits ripen in late August. It is cold-hardy to Zone 5 and requires 400 hours of winter chilling. It grows densely and climbs, making it suitable for use as a hedge or natural hedge in gardens. It prefers full sun to partial shade and grows in well-drained loamy soil with moderate moisture and a pH of 5.5 to 7.0. It also attracts bees and birds, adding environmental value to the plant. This variety is an excellent choice for those looking for abundant kiwifruit production without the complexities of pollination or large spaces. It is non-GMO and produced according to sustainable agricultural practices.
