Issai Hardy Female Kiwi
Actinidia arguta
Issai has long fruits about 1.5". Issai will produce one year after planting. Sets fruits without a male, but sets more with one. Not as vigorous as most arguta types, but similar in most respects. Less pruning required because of its early fruiting and spur type growth. Plant 6 - 8' apart on 6' trellis. Zones 6-9.
