The 'Chung Bai' kiwi is a female, climbing plant that produces small, sweet, and slightly tart fruits.

A hardy and easy-to-grow variety:

  • This is a new, highly productive variety that is also very hardy and can tolerate winter temperatures down to -25°C (-13°F).
  • It adapts to a variety of well-drained soils.
  • Planting should be done in the spring in a sunny or partially shaded location.
  • It is important to provide it with a strong support for its growth. Its sturdy stems easily cling to trellises, pergolas, or other supports.

Delicious fruit:

  • The 'Chung Bai' kiwi is distinguished by its heart-shaped fruits, slightly smaller than traditional kiwis, but just as tasty.
  • Its tender and juicy flesh offers an explosion of sweetness in the mouth, with a sweet and slightly tart flavor.
  • The fruits, about the size of a large grape, do not need to be peeled before eating.
  • Their taste is far superior to the fuzzy-skinned commercial kiwi.

A vigorous climbing plant:

  • The 'Chung Bai' kiwi is a vigorous climbing plant that can reach a height of 3 to 4 meters (10 to 13 feet).
  • Its dense, light green foliage provides a pleasant aesthetic appearance to your garden throughout the season.

A male pollinator is required:

  • To be pollinated, the 'Chung Bai' requires a male plant nearby, such as the Actinidia arguta 'Meader'.
