Ken's Red Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa 'Ken's Red') is a deciduous, climbing vine renowned for its vibrant, red-hued flesh within the fruit. The outer skin remains brown and fuzzy, providing a beautiful contrast to the striking red interior.

The fruit of Ken's Red is medium-sized, with a unique red interior that sets it apart from traditional green kiwi varieties. The taste is a delectable blend of sweetness and tartness, offering a delightful eating experience.

This vigorous vine can reach impressive lengths, often extending up to 15-20 feet or more. It is essential to provide sturdy support structures, such as trellises or arbors, to accommodate its climbing habit. The plant's height is typically managed through pruning and training.

Ken's Red Kiwi thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9, making it well-suited for a variety of temperate climates.


The last photo is an example of a 4" size container of our Ken’s Red Kiwi, however, it is not the exact plant that you will receive. Your plant will be approximately 1-2 years old and 2'-3' tall.

Pollination and Ripening

To ensure proper pollination of the Kens Red, planting a male kiwi nearby will help to pollinate it. It begins bearing fruit around 2-3 years after planting and ripens late summer to early fall.

USDA Zones/Minimum Temperature

The Ken's Red does well in USDA Hardiness Zones 7-9, making it a nice choice for a variety of temperate climates. It can tolerate temperatures down to 10-15°F (-12 to -9°C). It may require winter protection in colder climates. Though it does best in USDA Zones 7-9, gardeners in colder regions can try growing it in a sheltered location or provide winter protection by mulching around the base and using frost cloths during cold spells.
