Hardy Kiwi 'Issai': Compact, Self-Fertile, and Fruitful Overview: Actinidia arguta 'Issai,' commonly known as hardy kiwi 'Issai,' is a self-fertile and compact kiwi cultivar renowned for its small, smooth fruit. Here are key insights into growing and caring for this delightful kiwi variety: Climate and Location: In the UK, 'Issai' hardy kiwi plants thrive against south-facing walls, creating a sheltered microclimate that mimics their preferred warm conditions. Growing Conditions: Ensure well-draining, organically rich soil and a sunny location for optimal growth and fruiting of hardy kiwi plants. Fruit Production: 'Issai' is self-fertile, eliminating the need for separate male and female plants. This characteristic simplifies fruit production for home gardeners. Harvesting: Expect fruit harvest from 'Issai' kiwi vines in late summer to early autumn. A single well-established vine, under favorable conditions, can yield a substantial amount of fruit—up to 13.6kg (30lb). Nutritional Benefits: Kiwi fruits, including those from 'Issai,' are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and various nutrients. Home-grown fruits often boast higher nutrient content than imported ones. Vigorous Growth: Kiwi vines are vigorous and require ample space. Allow 3-4.5m (10-15ft) between plants to accommodate their robust growth. Container Growth: 'Issai' hardy kiwi plants can be cultivated in containers, providing flexibility in planting and maintenance throughout the year. Support Structures: Kiwi vines, especially when trained against walls or pergolas, benefit from support structures like trellises. These aid upward growth and fruit production. Pruning and Maintenance: Regular pruning is essential to manage growth and encourage fruit production. Consistent watering and fertilization contribute to healthy plant development and a generous harvest. Cultivating 'Issai' hardy kiwi involves attention to these factors, resulting in a thriving and fruitful addition to your garden.
