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.

 

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.  Plant this fuzzy male to pollinate Abbott, Blake, Bruno, Hayward,  Saanichton  or Vincent fuzzy females. One male plant can pollinate up to 8 female plants.

It is well-suited for USDA hardiness zones 7 to 9, thriving in climates with moderate temperatures and well-defined seasons.

The last photo is an example of a #1 (1 gallon) Fuzzy Male 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.  Plants shipped in Fall and Winter may not have any foliage on them.

     
                       
               

Pollination and Ripening

The male kiwi is essential for pollinating female kiwi plants. Ensure that both male and female vines are present in the vicinity for successful fruiting. Since the male kiwi does not bear fruit, it does not undergo a ripening process. It typically reaches maturity and begins producing pollen within 2 to 3 years after planting.

USDA Zones/Minimum Temperature

The minimum temperature for Actinidia deliciosa (male kiwi) is around 0° to 10° F (-17.8° to -12.2° C), which is USDA hardiness zones 7 to 9. If grown in colder climates, providing winter protection such as mulching around the base and covering young vines can help prevent cold damage.
