The large-fruited kiwis come from the Actinidia deliciosa, also known as the Chinese gooseberry, yang tao, or vegetable mouse. Among its iconic varieties, 'Hayward' and 'Bruno' are well-known for their delicious large fruits. The variety 'Tomuri', a male plant, is an effective pollinator for 'Hayward'. It produces large fruits with green, juicy flesh rich in vitamin C. 'Bruno', with its oval and sweet fruits, pairs well with the male kiwi 'Atlas'. The female kiwi 'Monty', with its firm and tangy fruits, finds an excellent pollinator in 'Minkimale'. 'Solissimo' is a self-fertile variety that does not require a male pollinator and produces tasty fruits. The female kiwi 'Minkigold', on the other hand, is famous for its yellow, sweet, and aromatic flesh and pairs well with male pollinators like 'Minkimale' or 'Chico'. Discover all our varieties of large-fruited kiwis on these pages.
To thrive, Actinidia deliciosa kiwis require a sunny exposure, rich and well-drained soil, and regular watering. Protection against strong winds and mulching to maintain moisture are also recommended.
