- Actinidia arguta 'Kokuwa' is a kiwi variety originating from Asia. What sets this kiwi apart is its self-pollinating nature. It is a cross between A. kolomikta and A. melanandra.
- It grows vigorously and is a climbing plant-liana, therefore it requires support. Its annual growth can reach up to 2 meters.
- Being self-pollinating, 'Kokuwa' does not require a male plant for pollination. This variety also produces male flowers, and if pollination occurs, the fruits tend to be larger.
- It blooms in June and yields fruits from October to November. The fruits are small, but after pollination, they can double in size. The shape of the fruit is round, and its color is green.
- The taste of Actinidia arguta 'Kokuwa' is excellent, aromatic, and very sweet. It is suitable for direct consumption or processing. The fruits contain many vitamins and minerals.
- A slightly shaded location is best for cultivating this variety. It does not favor strong winds. The soil should be slightly acidic, well-draining, nutrient-rich, and sufficiently moist. It does not like to dry out.
- Pruning is done similarly to grapevines. The shoots bloom and bear fruit on two-year-old wood.
- This variety is highly frost-resistant, down to -20 degrees Celsius, and easy to cultivate. It is not susceptible to fungal diseases or pests.
