Growing notes
- A male pollinator — it does not bear fruit but is needed to pollinate female kiwifruit vines
- Vigorous deciduous climber needing a strong support; hardy when dormant but its flowers are frost-sensitive
- Best with some winter chill and a long, warm season to ripen fruit on the female vines
