Botanical nameHardy kiwi

Actinidia arguta 'Prolific', or self-fertile hardy kiwi 'Prolific', is a very productive fruiting vine, ideal for gardeners seeking an abundant harvest without having to plant a pollinator. It is appealing due to its vigorous and twining habit, capable of effectively covering trellises, pergolas, or fences while providing pleasant and decorative shade. Its fragrant white blossoms in spring precede a generous production of small, sweet, smooth-skinned green kiwis, which can be eaten directly without peeling. Very well adapted to the Quebec climate, 'Prolific' is a variety that is functional, hardy, and ornamental, perfect for integrating edible elements into a landscape design without compromising on aesthetics.
