Kiwis In Georgia

Q: Is it unusual for kiwi’s to be growing in northeast Georgia?
A: I think you are a bit too far north to grow grocery kiwi but there are other
options. Hardy kiwi, Actinidia arguta, is different from the fuzzy kiwifruit,
Actinidia deliciosa, commonly available at groceries. In fact, there are two
kiwi vines that are completely hardy here. Actinidia arguta has hairless fruit
about the size of a grape. ‘Issai’ and ‘Anansnaya’ are sold by mail order
nurseries for garden planting. A. kolomikta, ‘Arctic Beauty’ kiwi, is grown as
an ornamental vine for its pink and white variegated younger leaves. A.
kolomikta is particularly cold-hardy, with small but sweet fruit, very rich in
vitamin C. I have a neighbor in Decatur who has a huge fuzzy kiwi vine. She
has harvested kiwi for several years.
