Minikiwi 'Scarlet September Kiwi' Female Plant: current height 60–80 cm
Common names: Minikiwi, Gooseberry Actinidia, Hardy Kiwi
Scientific name: Actinidia arguta
Family: Actinidiaceae
Plant history & use
'Scarlet September Kiwi' is a rare and very decorative female plant of the hardy minikiwi species. This variety stands out with its reddish fruits that ripen early – often already in early to mid-September – allowing harvest before the autumn frost strikes in most parts of the country.
The fruits are small, smooth, and can be eaten with the skin on. They have a sweet, fresh, flavorful flesh with a subtle berry note. They are perfect as a snack straight from the plant, in fruit salad, or dried as healthy treats.
Female plants like this require pollination from a male plant, for example the variety 'Weiki' – or a hermaphrodite variety such as 'Issai'.
Cultivation
Thrives best in a sunny, warm, and sheltered spot in humus-rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic reaction. The variety is fast-growing and likes to climb – trellis, pergola, or tree work well as support. It is very frost-hardy and withstands temperatures down to -30°C, making it well suited also for cultivation in inland climates. Protection against late spring frost is recommended as young shoots can be damaged.
Characteristics
Longevity: Perennial
Growing position: Sun to partial shade
Height: 3–5 meters (with support)
Hardiness zone: 1–4
Use: Fresh consumption, snacks, fruit salad, drying
