Kiwi vines are native to southwestern China.These deciduous, perennial plants are dioecious which means that male and female flowers are produced on separate plants.Vines of both sexes must be grown to ensure pollination. A single male plant can pollinate several nearby females...Hardy Kiwi are often used as a screen or shade vine because of their ability to create a dense cover of 3 to 5 inch, glossy dark green leaves on long red vines. Actinidia deliciosa is a vigorous, deciduous climber with stout shoots covered in red-brown hairs and broadly ovate, heart-shapped, mid-green leaves. In early summer it bears clusters of usually two to three creamy white flowers . Female plants bear ovoid-oblong, bristly-skinned, greenish brown fruit
