Actinidia arguta 'Ken's Red' (Kiwi)

Ken's Red Hardy Kiwi yields cherry-sized fruits featuring attractive burgundy red skin and flesh. These kiwis deliver the expected sweet, vibrant flavor without the need for peeling. The vigorous vines produce clusters of smooth, oblong fruits comparable in size to large grapes. Unlike traditional fuzzy kiwis, these smooth-skinned fruits can be eaten whole, similar to seedless grapes with a kiwi taste. The robust vines require sturdy support and can be trained along deck railings or fences, offering both aesthetic appeal and easy harvesting. For fruit production, pair with a hardy arguta or early-blooming fuzzy deliciosa male and expect flowering and fruiting after 4–6 years.
