Issai Hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta ‘Issai’)

Issai Hardy Kiwi (Actinidia arguta ‘Issai’) is a compact, self-fertile fruiting vine known for producing small, smooth-skinned kiwis that can be eaten whole without peeling. Unlike traditional kiwi plants, Issai does not require a separate pollinator, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners with limited space.

This vigorous vine produces clusters of sweet, grape-sized fruit in late summer to early fall. The fruit has a flavour similar to traditional kiwi but is often sweeter and more convenient to eat. The plant also features attractive green foliage that provides ornamental value when grown on trellises, fences, or pergolas.
