Beautifully fragrant flowers are also produced in summer, giving you an added bonus. Also known as the kolomikta vine or variegated hardy kiwi, actinidia is grown specifically for its heart-shaped leaves which are splashed with a generous helping of pink and white and make a particularly striking feature when grown against a sunny wall or the side of a house. It's a fast-growing plant, that once established, is easy to grow and look after. Actinidia can be kept compact if needed and is easy to prune as mature branches tend to remain just a few inches thick, therefore maintenance is not a chore. Dr. Szymanowski is a fruit-bearing female form of this variety of ornamental kiwi. its fruits will appear in mid to late august and ripen in September. A good choice for covering ugly fences and walls as this ornamental climber is densely leaved and soon covers the offending structure.

(just google 'cats and actinidia' and see for yourself!)
What's not to like about easy-to-grow Kiwi fruits, which can crop reliably outside here in the UK? The variety 'Jenny' is tried and tested as one of the best performers in UK gardens, and is 100% self-fertile - This gets round the problem most people have had, as you typically needed a male and female variety to get crops, and then some bees to pollinate too. That, however, is now in the past! Grow against a sunny, south facing wall, 'Jenny' is quite vigorous, and can reach 3-4m in 5 years if not trained or pruned. Yet it responds well to trimming and shaping, and should produce fruit in 2-3 years reliably, and heavy crops beyond that, surprisingly easily. Juicy, fresh and rich in Vitamin C, the fruits can be picked in autumn, and are delicious eaten fresh - quite different to supermarket fruits chilled and transported across the globe. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant out.
