Understanding Hardy Kiwis

Types of Kiwis: Hardy kiwis are smaller and often store-bought. They are dioecious, meaning you need both male and female plants to bear fruit (1 male for every 8-10 females).
Recommended Varieties:
- Ananasnaya: Good for beginners, produces grape-sized fruits.
- Geneva: Ideal for early fruiting.
- Dumbarton Oaks: Known for high yields.
- Michigan State: Produces larger fruits, cold-hardy to USDA Zone 5.
- Ken’s Red: Notable for red-colored skin.
- Issai: Self-fertile, no need for separate male and female plants.
