Description
The Actinidia arguta 'Domino' is a female variety of kiwi that requires the presence of a male plant nearby to bear fruit. Its fruits are small, between 2.5 and 3.5 cm long. Their skin is green with a strong purple colour. Their flesh is also green. They can be consumed fresh with their smooth skin or cooked in compote. The harvest takes place from late September to early October. Very hardy and productive, this Siberian kiwi appreciates a sunny and sheltered location with rich, moist, and well-drained soil. Train its branches on support: trellis, pergola, arbour, or stretched wires.
From the Actinidiaceae family, Actinidia arguta, also known as Siberian kiwi, is known for its smooth-skinned fruits, unlike kiwis (Actinidia chinensis or deliciosa) with fuzzy skin. Actinidias are ornamental plants with large leaves and white late-spring flowering. The best example is Actinidia kolomikta, which does not produce fruit. The 'Domino' arguta kiwi (female) is a new Polish cultivar producing long voluble branches reaching 5 to 7 m. Its large green leaves are heart-shaped and dentate, measuring 8 to 10 cm long. They do not persist during winter. In June, creamy white fragrant and melliferous flowers appear in the axils of the leaves.
The fruits of the 'Domino' variety resemble large grapes. Each kiwi can weigh an average of 10 to 14 g. Their skin is smooth and thin and does not need to be removed if you eat them fresh. This is very convenient for picnics. They reach maturity between late September and early October. They can be harvested before fully ripening, as they continue to ripen after being picked. They can be stored for one to two weeks after harvesting. Their green flesh is sweet and rich in calcium and vitamin C. They can also be used in fruit salads, compotes, jams, juices, or fruit tarts. Fruiting generally begins 2 to 3 years after planting. The 'Domino' arguta kiwi is not a self-fertile variety. The presence of a male plant like the Weikii arguta kiwi (male) is essential for pollination. One male plant can pollinate 3 to 6 female plants.
This very hardy fruiting climbing plant has many ornamental advantages. It has luxuriant foliage, and its spring flowering is fragrant. This plant needs to be trained on sturdy support, such as wires along a wall, a trellis, an arbour, a pergola, or a fence. To create a trained hedge, plant one plant every 3 m, including a few male plants, to ensure good harvests.

Planting and care
Plant your 'Domino' Actinidia arguta in rich, somewhat acidic, moist and well-drained soil. It dislikes stagnant moisture and limestone. Plant it in a sunny position sheltered from strong winds. The soil should remain moist in summer; it will be helpful to mulch the base with a layer of mulch 10 to 15 cm thick. Water it in the first years following planting. Once established and rooted, the plant manages on its own except in case of prolonged drought. Provide its base with a fertiliser rich in bonemeal at the start of vegetation. A unique fruit tree fertiliser will also be very beneficial during flowering. Offer your climbing fruit plant support to help its voluble branches climb. Train it, for example, against a wall exposed to the non-burning sun.
Overall, the 'Domino' kiwi is not very sensitive to insects and pests, but red spiders can still be affected in a hot and dry environment. Eliminate them by lightly and regularly spraying water on the foliage and soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
