Actinidia chinensis
GOLDEN KIWI, GOOSEBERRY
- Unit price
- / per
Actinidia chinensis, known commercially as the golden kiwifruit, is a fruiting vine. It has a smooth, bronze skin, with a beak shape at the stem attachment. Flesh colour varies from bright green to a clear, intense yellow. This species is sweeter and more aromatic in flavour compared to A. deliciosa, similar to some subtropical fruits.
Type: Hardy shrub
Location: Sun or part sun
Hardiness zones: 7-9, sometimes zone 6
Height: 7-8m, 23-26'
Seeds per packet: 5
Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours before planting. Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 90 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature 20-22C (68-72F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
