Saanichton Fuzzy Kiwi
Actinidia deliciosa
The popular store bought Hayward usually is not adapted to East Coast conditions. Saanichton has proven itself at our nursery and is worthy of trial. An attractive vine, one of the prettiest at our nursery with very large passion flower-like blooms and fruit the size of store bought fruits. Ripens 2 weeks earlier than Elmwood. It takes our fluctuating temperatures unlike most fuzzy kiwis. Comes into bearing early, usually 1 to 2 years. A "fuzzy male" must be grown with Saanichton for fruit set. Space 15' apart. Zone 7-9.
