Arctic Beauty Kiwi
Attractive variegated foliage.
 (0 customer reviews)
Prized for its ornamental
qualities, with luscious fruit as a bonus. The
female plant produces smooth-skinned fruit which
is sweet and flavorful and can be eaten just like
grapes. Leaf color is especially intense in the male
plant, with a striking hot pink, cream, and emeraldgreen
pattern. Usually reaches peak color within
2-3 years of planting. Easily climbs over a fence or
trellis. Male plant must be planted for cross-pollination—
only the female plant produces fruit. Zones
3-8. Potted plants. Not available in CA.

| Comments: Usually 1-2 years before variegated leaf color becomes evident; excessive shade and fertilizer reduce leaf coloration. Transplants readily. Tolerates any soil type. Very vigorous, needs considerable pruning. Relatively disease-free. Mulch to retain moisture and keep soil cool. Refrigerate after harvest but store at room temperature a couple of days before use for best flavor. Needs a trellis system. Flowers on one year old wood. May take 7-10 years for them to bear.
