Hardy Kiwi Pollinator Vine
Description
Hardy Kiwi Pollinator is the essential companion for Anna Hardy Kiwi and other female hardy kiwi vines — without a male pollinator plant nearby, female kiwi vines bloom but produce no fruit. And while the Pollinator doesn’t bear kiwi fruit itself, it’s a genuinely beautiful landscape vine in its own right: vigorous, cold-hardy to -25°F, with dainty fragrant white blossoms covering glossy foliage in late May and the climbing habit to fill fences, walls, and trellises with attractive presence through the season. Pest and disease resistant, heat-tolerant, and easy to grow.
- Hardy Kiwi Pollinator does not set fruit.
- 1 Hardy Kiwi Pollinator pollinates up to 8 Anna Hardy Kiwi (or other female) vines.
The Essential Companion — Without It, No Kiwi Fruit
Kiwi is dioecious — male and female flowers grow on separate plants, and female plants cannot set fruit without a male nearby. One Hardy Kiwi Pollinator planted within 100 feet is all it takes to unlock the full harvest potential of your female kiwi planting.
Fragrant Late-May Blooms — A Beautiful Landscape Vine
The vigorous climbing habit covers fences, walls, and sturdy trellises with attractive glossy foliage, and in late May the vine is covered in dainty, fragrant white blossoms that are genuinely beautiful and highly attractive to early pollinators. Even without kiwi fruit, the plant earns its place.
Cold-Hardy to -25°F — Pest and Disease Resistant
Built from the same tough genetics that make Anna Hardy Kiwi so reliable in northern gardens — pest and disease resistant, heat-tolerant, and easy to maintain once established.
