| Everything about this new Kiwi is just a bit better. It's cold-hardier, thriving in the chilly winters of zone 3 without damage. Its fruits are much larger, reaching up to 1 ounce and boasting an unusually blocky shape and lime-green color. It is very productive, guaranteeing you a harvest of at least 100 pounds (and possibly much more) each year. Just find a sunny spot for this native of Russia and China, and get ready for the fruit! These plants reach 15 to 20 feet high, with fruit set all along the stems. Harvest it in fall, beginning just 2 to 4 years after planting, and enjoy this nutritious tropical fruit for many, many years to come. It is far and away the best variety for northern and cool-summer climates. Untroubled by pests or diseases, 'Michigan State' is a fruiting female and will need a male pollinator to set fruit. You may use a single male plant for up to 8 female plants. Discover how easy and delicious growing your own Kiwis can be! Zones 3-9. Sunset Western Zones A1-A3, 1-10, 14-24; Sunset Northeastern Zones 31, 32, 34-41. |
