This plant was given to us by a relative many years ago. Actinidia arguta (hardy kiwi) is a native to Japan, Korea, Northern China, and Russian Siberia. It produces a small fruit resembling the kiwifruit.
The fruit are referred to as hardy kiwifruit, kiwi berry, arctic kiwi, baby kiwi, dessert kiwi, grape kiwi, northern kiwi, or cocktail kiwi, and are edible, similar to kiwifruit in taste and appearance, but are green, brownish, or purple with smooth skin, sometimes with a red blush. Often sweeter than the kiwifruit, hardy kiwifruit can be eaten whole and do not need to be peeled.
The fast-growing, climbing is very hardy (hence the name hardy kiwi), and is capable of surviving slow temperature drops to -34°C (-30°F. The s need a frost-free growing season of about 150 days, but are not damaged by late freezes, provided that temperature changes are sufficiently gradual to allow plants to acclimate. Indeed, a period of winter chill is necessary for successful cultivation.
Hardy kiwi may be grown directly from seeds, and germination time is about one month.
In domestic cultivation, a trellis may be used to encourage horizontal growth for easy maintenance and harvesting; however, s grow extremely quickly and require a strong trellis for support. Each can grow up to 20 ft in a single season, given ideal growing conditions. For commercial planting, placement is important: plants can tolerate partial but yields are optimized with full sunlight. Hardy kiwi s consume large volumes of water; therefore, they are usually grown in well-drained, acidic soils to prevent root rot.
Type: Tree
Hardiness zones: 5-11
Location: Sun or part sun
Seeds per pack: 10
Germination: Obtain a container with holes at the bottom for water to drain. Sow the seeds on the surface of a pre-moistened sterile seed-start mix. Press the seeds flat, and water using a spray bottle, being careful not to bury the seeds as they require light to germinate. Place the container in a bright location, and keep at 25C/77F. Seeds will germinate within 15-90 days.

Here's What Some Of Our Customers Had To Say (Thank you!)
Ferri Seeds is truly a wonderful company. They take the utmost care when delivering your seeds. Mine arrived promptly and when I had any questions, they were so happy to help me. I am looking forward to getting more from them soon. Thank you David for making this a delightful experience.
I got these pretty quickly and in perfect order. I can't wait to see what they look like once I plant them. I have another colour and they were so pretty I had to try these. I have used this seller a few times now with great success, and will again. Everything I have ordered has been of good quality!
I was impressed with Ferriseed’s selection of seeds. Ordering was a breeze and the seeds arrived in a perfect little padded envelope in 9 days. I am very happy and will order from here again. Many thanks.
Never grew coleus from seed, and it was surprisingly easy. They germinated quickly on my heat mat and grow lights. Can't wait to see them in the garden!
We placed our order on Thursday and received it on Monday. Here in Canada the tracking link is accurate. Ferri seeds tells you when they're shipping and when your order is delivered, the seeds arriving in excellent condition. We will definitely be ordering again this spring. Keep up the good work!
Great product ! All seeds germinated and flourished nicely.
My order, made late afternoon, April 27th, and needed in a bit of a rush, was mailed next morning and arrived in my rural mailbox in BC, May 5th.
Thank you for your cheerful, friendly emails and prompt service. I certainly recommend you others and will be sure to keep an eye on the range of seeds you offer in future.
Gt the delivery on time. One week since i potted the seeds. Some of the seeds are already sprouting so i am very happy so far. No complaints yet

Ferri Seeds – one of the best online and most helpful businesses I have ever had dealings with. Quick turnaround, dispatch, and beautifully packaged seeds. What more could you want – beautiful flowers would be nice. Well I am sure they will turn out to be.
The seeds came just as described. I appreciate the good follow-up to my questions also.
Fantastically seedlings. They were well packaged. I planted them right away and they’re growing nicely so far.
Fast service, amazing communication!
I happened across Ferri Seeds website when I Googled a particular plant I’d been looking for. I was impressed by their selection of all types of seeds and their good product descriptions along with detailed germination instructions. I found the site and ordered on a Saturday. On Sunday I got a notice that my order had been shipped! The seeds were in my P.O. box on Friday. Such amazing service. It’s too early to comment on germination rates — I’ve just started the stratification process today.
Received in 1-2 weeks in Canada, Ontario. Everything is as ordered. No issues. Ordered through the official web site.
