Description
The Male Golden Delight Kiwi is an original, ornamental, and deciduous climber. This plant is the male counterpart enabling pollination of the female golden kiwi, with yellow fruits that are particularly sweet and juicy. This plant wraps around its support but must be trained. Flowering takes place in late spring, with fragrant white-cream flowers, with fertile and golden stamens. This actinidia prefers rich, well-drained, and moist soils in a sunny to partially shady position, sheltered from heavy frosts. Some enthusiasts claim that it is the most flavorful of kiwis.
Actinidia chinensis Golden Delight belongs to the Actinidiaceae family. It comes from Actinidia chinensis, which is native to the central and western regions of China. This vigorous climber grows 3 metres (10 feet) per year under favourable conditions, reaching a height of 5 metres (16 feet) and a spread of 6 metres (20 feet). Its long sinuous stems can reach the thickness of a finger, forming a framework capable of breaking a fragile support. It bears large, smooth, ovate, and entire leaves, with a matte green colour, covered, just like the stems, with small red hairs. The leaves are wide and ovate on the sterile shoots, more rounded on the fertile shoots. From the third or fourth year of cultivation, flowers appear on the previous year's branches. Flowering takes place in May-June, in the form of fragrant flowers with wide cream-white petals measuring 3 to 4cm (1 to 2in) in diameter, around a heart of fertile golden stamens. This variety is necessary to pollinate female plants of the 'Golden Delight' female kiwi variety.
The golden kiwi is a voracious plant that needs space to establish itself. It is necessary to provide a solid and large enough support to accommodate at least one female plant and one male plant, which will be trained on a wall stretched with a strong wire, a pergola, or two tree trunks. This plant is not very hardy, so it should be placed in a sheltered location away from cold winds.

Planting and care
Plant the golden kiwi ideally in autumn, but it can be transplanted throughout the year outside of freezing periods, in a deep, well-drained, loose, fertile soil with not too much limestone, remaining moist. Dig a hole in which you pour the contents of a bag of enriched horticultural compost and bury the root ball not too deeply. The collar of the plant should be at ground level. Firmly pack and water generously. Planting distance between two plants: 2 metres (7 feet). Plant at least one male plant for every 5 female plants. Mulch the plants during the first three winters. This kiwi appreciates sunny but not scorching positions. It is not very susceptible to insects and diseases, but Actinidia chinensis Golden Delight can still be affected by spider mites. These mites thrive in a warm and dry environment. This liana will greatly appreciate having the foliage and soil sprayed with water in the evening, lightly but regularly, to control the mites and to cool the plant down in case of intense heat. Maintenance treatment: In late winter, incorporate a light dressing of organic fertiliser or well-rotted manure at the base of the plant. Train the stems as they grow by tying them loosely. They will wrap around the support.

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.
