A Red Kiwi? --It's Tops for Taste!
Kiwi Fruit 'Hardy Red' (Female)
The sweet-tart flavor of this fruit is delicious -- and that's good, because you'll harvest 100 pounds or more every season!
Plant along with a male pollinator for fruit set.
You might not recognize these smooth cranberry-red skinned fruits as Kiwis, even after you slice them open to reveal their bright red flesh. But one bite convinces you -- the sweet-tart flavor is delectable and distinctively Kiwi! A very, very heavy-bearing variety, 'Hardy Red' brings you 100 pounds or more of fruit in a single season!
These plants reach 15 to 20 feet high, with fruit set all along the stems. Harvest it in fall, beginning just a year or two after planting, and enjoy this nutritious tropical fruit for many, many years to come.
Untroubled by pests or diseases, 'Hardy Red' is a fruiting female and will need a male pollinator to set fruit. You may use a single male plant for up to 8 female plants. Discover how easy and delicious growing your own Kiwis can be! Zones 4-11.
