Actinidia Deliciosa Jenny, commonly known as ‘Kiwi Fruit’, is a vigorous and productive climber renowned for its small, sweet, and edible fruit. This cultivar is particularly valued for its smaller fruit, which is smooth and fuzz-free, making it easy to eat without peeling. The fruit is green and flavourful, with a sweet-tart taste. Actinidia deliciosa ‘Jenny’ is a hardy vine that can grow up to 8 metres in height, making it suitable for trellises, arbors, or garden walls.

To ensure your Actinidia Deliciosa ‘Jenny’ thrives, plant it in a location that receives full sun . It prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and benefits from regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
In early spring, apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser to support healthy growth and fruit production. Since this is a self-pollinating variety, it does not require another kiwi vine for fruiting, although planting more than one can enhance yield. Regular pruning is essential to maintain the vine’s shape and promote better air circulation. Cut back any dead or excessive growth in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Protecting from strong winds and extreme temperatures will help ensure a bountiful harvest. With proper care, Actinidia Deliciosa Jenny will produce a plentiful crop of delicious, bite-sized kiwifruit, adding both beauty and bounty to your garden.
