Actinidia kolomikta ?September Sun?

September Sun Kiwi

Actinidia arguta ‘September Sun’ (Hardy Kiwi)

A vigorous, deciduous fruiting vine, Actinidia arguta ‘September Sun’ is grown for its smooth-skinned, grape-sized kiwi fruit that ripen in early fall. Unlike fuzzy kiwis, the fruit can be eaten whole and has a sweet, tropical flavor. This fast-growing vine produces dense green foliage and benefits from a pollinator (such as a male hardy kiwi) for reliable fruit set. It creates a lush, productive cover over structures.
