Wayside Gardens Actinidia Hayward Kiwi

Yes, the 'Hayward' female variety requires the male pollinator included in this kit to produce fruit. You must plant them in close proximity to ensure successful pollination.

These are vigorous growers that reach a mature height and width of 12 feet. You will need a sturdy trellis, fence, or arbor to support their weight and provide adequate space for them to spread.

While these vines are container-friendly, they will eventually require a very large pot or planter due to their size and root system. Ensure your container has excellent drainage and is placed in a spot that receives full sun.

These plants are best suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 7 through 9. If you live in a region with harsh winters, they may not survive, as they are not cold-hardy enough for northern climates.

No, Actinidia Hayward is a deciduous plant. This means the vines will lose their foliage in the winter and go dormant before producing new growth and fragrant flowers in the spring.

Kiwi vines thrive in loamy, well-drained soil. Avoid planting them in heavy clay or areas where water tends to pool, as consistent moisture is important but soggy roots can lead to health issues.
