Actinidia arguta 'Ken's Red'
Actinidia arguta 'Ken's Red', or female hardy kiwi 'Ken's Red', is an original and decorative fruit-bearing climbing plant, renowned for its purplish-red fruits with dark red flesh, which are very sweet and flavorful. This vigorous variety with lush green foliage naturally twines around supports to create a dense and ornamental screen, ideal for covering trellises, pergolas, or walls. In spring, it offers discreet and fragrant white flowers, which require the presence of a male plant such as 'Andrew' for pollination. Hardy, productive, and low-maintenance, 'Ken's Red' stands out for the intensity of its fruit color and their exceptional taste, making it one of the most prized varieties in Nordic edible gardens.
