Actinidia kolomikta

Woody Vine, Kolomikta Actinidia

Trail these rapid-growing, vigorous vines up a tree or use them to cover a wall. Trained on an arbor or trellis, they are a dense, deciduous screen or shade vine. Their mildly fragrant flowers appear in midsummer. Several species also have edible fruits. Pair female and male plants to ensure pollination. Little trouble, as they are generally pest-free. Start from seeds or cuttings, and support young vines. Prune in late fall or winter, as fruit grows on wood at least a year old. Prune also to shape and remove crossing or congested growth. Fertilize and water frequently during the growing season.

Cup-shaped, white flowers that turn to edible yellow fruits on the female vines are sprinkled throughout dense masses of 3 to 6-inch long leaves.
