('productnameshort')

Actinidia deliciosa is a large, rampant, decidous vine that produces kiwifruit. 'Vincent' is an excellent cultivar.


Description:
This is the species that brings you kiwi fruit! A. deliciosa is a large, rampant, decidous vine that needs a structure or large tree to climb on and a lot of space in which to sprawl. It has brown fuzzy stems, large, rich green, heart-shaped, textured foliage, pure white flowers centred with masses of golden stamens and the fuzzy brown berries that we call kiwifruit. 'Vincent' produces large egg-shaped fruit with excellent flavour. Requires a self-fertile or male cultivar for pollination. Full sun and rich soil are the best for fruit production though tolerant of part shade.
