The Tomuri Kiwi is a small, dense tree featuring glossy, broad green leaves and striking white blossoms. It yields an abundant harvest of flavorful kiwi fruits, combining sweetness with a tangy zest. Rich in vitamins C and K, these fruits offer valuable nutritional benefits. This variety is recognized for its straightforward cultivation and low maintenance requirements. Adaptable to container growing or direct planting in soil, it suits both compact garden spaces and extensive orchard settings.
Male kiwi plants, including the Tomuri variety, do not bear fruit but are vital for pollinating female kiwi plants, which produce the fruit. The male flowers feature a vivid yellow center with pollen-laden anthers that attract pollinators to nearby female vines. For effective pollination, it is recommended to plant one male for every four to eight female plants. Both male and female vines can also be cultivated together in a container. The Tomuri male kiwi vine is an excellent pollinator, particularly for female varieties like 'Vincent,' playing a key role in ensuring a successful and abundant fruit set.
