Although we lost the leaves in the hard freeze two nights ago, the kiwis persist on the vine an are really tasty.

Anyone know how big do the fruits get on Actinidia arguta 'Issai'?

That's about as big as mine get.

Great to see it bear fruit at a reasonably young age.
I planted one this fall, fingers crossed.
Good taste test, Adam...kiwi beer 😆
The fruit looks hairless, which is preferred I think compared to the others.

Mine took about 4 years before i got any kiwis. 🙁

The plant tag didn't say a word about fertilization.
Any idea what to use on them?
Yeah...4 years is a while.
Kinda like fruit trees generally.

Hey, Adam! Yours are a little bit bigger then my Issai presented me this year. Mine started fruiting right next year after planting in 2011 fall.

Large grapes or cherries seems to be the best comparison. Mine had a few small kiwi, but its young so it seemed to abort them. It happens on young plants in general anyways. Seem to be pretty hardy. My issai died down to the snow line though...
