Properties and uses:
This yellow Kiwi is quite unusual and different from the green kiwi, but it contains just as much vitamin C, and the flesh is sweet. The fruits are 5 to 8 cm long, with a smooth yellow skin and red flesh; they are ripe around October.
Kiwi is a hardy vine that can be planted in any garden, as long as it is trellised. Be sure to choose a strong structure to support the weight of new shoots and fruit. It may also be planted against a wall facing South, in order to protect it from cold winds. Prune the tree in winter, in February and March. Prune the kiwi as any vine, down to two or three buds above the last fruit.
Several varieties exist:
- Yellow kiwi with red flesh 'Wonder': A female variety. This means that its flowers produce only ovules and cannot self-pollinate. To obtain fruit, it is therefore essential to plant a male kiwi plant nearby. The male kiwi varieties recommended for pollinating the 'Wonder' are: 'Belen' and 'Tomuri'.
- Yellow kiwi with red heart 'Gold'n Red': A dioecious variety, which means that it has only female flowers and requires the presence of a male plant nearby to produce fruit. The most commonly recommended pollinator for the 'Gold'n Red' kiwi is the male variety Actinidia chinensis 'Tomuri' or 'Atlas'.
