Male kiwi vine 'Tomuri' – Actinidia deliciosa 'Tomuri'
Main interest
The 'Tomuri' male kiwi vine is a hardy climbing plant essential to the success of female kiwi cultivation. While it does not produce fruit, it provides the pollen required to fertilize female Actinidia deliciosa varieties, especially the widely grown 'Hayward'. With its vigorous growth and reliable blooming, it ensures efficient cross-pollination when planted near female plants. Its flowering period aligns perfectly with that of female vines. Easy to train on a pergola or trellis, 'Tomuri' performs well in most temperate climates.
