Known as the Kiwi Hardy it produces bunches of delicious kiwi flavoured fruit. A climbing vine that will grow to 7m plus. Eat when fruit turns slightly soft to experience the most amazing flavour. They are great straight off the vine, added to a fruit salad or a dessert dish. It’s one of my top treats to offer, on a Tour and Tasting session. See the Tours page for the dates of the next public tour.
