Actinidia deliciosa ‘Jenny’ is the only self-fertile selection of this large, rampant, deciduous vine needing a structure or large tree to climb on and a lot of space in which to sprawl. It has brown fuzzy stems, large, rich green, heart-shaped, textured foliage, pure white flowers centred with masses of golden stamens and the fuzzy brown berries that we call kiwifruit. Full sun and rich soil are the best for fruit production though tolerant of part shade. Produces more fruit when a male is present.
