The Actinidia deliciosa, commonly known as the male kiwi, is a vigorous deciduous vine, often climbing up to 20 feet or more, is renowned for its lush foliage and role in the pollination of its female counterpart, the kiwi fruit-bearing vine. With heart-shaped leaves and a robust growth habit, the male kiwi adds ornamental value to the landscape, making it a popular choice for both home gardens and orchards. Its sprawling nature makes it an excellent choice for arbors, trellises, or pergolas where it can showcase its vibrant green foliage.
Unlike the female kiwi plant, the male kiwi does not produce fruit. Instead, its primary purpose is to provide essential pollen for the female plants, ensuring successful fruit production.
