how to grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally free of pests and diseases. MORE

Water in dry spells

Keep the soil moist and make sure to water regularly during dry spells.

Full sun

Position where your plants will receive sunlight for more than 6 hours each day during the spring/summer.

Any well-drained soil

Actinidia do well in any average, well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and/or often becomes waterlogged then you can improve the drainage by adding in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost as well as some perlite or gravel.

Feeding not required

This vigorous vine requires little in the way of feeding. Three inches of compost provided each spring to the base of the plant provides all the nutrients necessary for the season. ?v=1613301043
