Description

The kiwi 'Hayward' female is an attractive climbing plant that offers an unforgettable taste experience with its delicious fruit. To achieve high yields of kiwis, the gardener plants a male variety near it. After a few years, it delights with a rich harvest. Its fruits are very large and cylindrical. They have a green-brown, furry skin. Inside, they surprise with their green, juicy flesh, which tastes wonderfully sweet and refreshingly sour at the same time. In addition to its fruit, (bot.) Actinidia deliciosa 'Hayward' also impresses with its attractive appearance. It presents its graceful, creamy white flowers from May to June. Its large, decorative leaves are rounded, pointed at the front and hairy. They shimmer in a fresh green. The female kiwi 'Hayward' grows upright, climbing and bushy. It reaches a height of 300 to 400 cm and a width of 400 to 800 cm. It grows very quickly, gaining 50 to 80 cm per year.

Growing tips

From the end of October to mid-November, gardeners can harvest the female fruits of the kiwi 'Hayward'. Freshly picked, they pamper the palate with their fine aroma. They are a delight in fruit salads and desserts. They are also ideal for baking. Not only do kiwis taste delicious, they are also rich in vitamin C. Another plus point is their long shelf life; they can be stored in cool rooms until April. In the garden, Actinidia deliciosa 'Hayward' climbs up trellises of all kinds. As it grows enormously in width, it is the ideal plant for greening house walls and facades. The female kiwi 'Hayward' requires a warm, sunny and sheltered location. It thrives in sufficiently moist, humus-rich, nutritious soil that is well-drained. It needs regular watering on hot summer days. As a young plant, it is sensitive to frost and needs winter protection. Older plants are hardy and easy to care for.
