Introducing the Golden Kiwi, a true standout in the world of kiwis! This exquisite variety of Actinidia chinensis produces stunning golden-yellow fruit that surpasses the typical green kiwi in both flavour and texture. With its smooth skin and soft, sweet, and aromatic yellow flesh, Golden Kiwi offers a more refined taste experience. The vine itself is smaller than its green counterpart, boasting heart-shaped, red-haired leaves that add a touch of elegance to any garden. A fantastic choice for those looking to grow exotic fruit, the Golden Kiwi thrives in both appearance and taste. Being a female variety, it requires a male pollinator, such as Kiwi Atlas, to produce fruit. Expect your first crop in just two years, with the most abundant yields achieved after five years. Height & Spread: 1.8m (5.9ft) Pollination: Requires a male kiwi for successful pollination Time to First Cropping: 2 years Time to Best Yields: 5 years Please note that plant size can vary seasonally, so we list by pot size rather than a fixed plant size.

Grow Golden Kiwi plants in a sunny position in fertile, well drained, slightly acid soil. A sheltered position is essential as kiwis are particularly sensitive to adverse weather conditions. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the planting hole. Plant kiwi vines, firm in and water well. Provide the twining stems with an appropriate support wires strung between sturdy posts, to train as an espalier.
