Kiwi - Actinidia deliciosa Solissimo
A large, vigorous climber, Actinidia deliciosa ‘Solissimo’ needs to be trained over a sunny pergola or as an espalier against a south-facing wall. Can be grown outside only in the warmest areas, otherwise in a polytunnel or greenhouse big enough to accommodate it. Unlike other kiwis, ‘Solissimo’ is self-fertile; the egg-shaped, bristly, brown fruit (also known as a Chinese gooseberry) is slightly smaller and rounder than most, and very rich in Vitamin C. Reliable production of delicious, vitamin-rich fruit where conditions are right; kiwis need cold winters to produce flowers, but 240 frost-free days for the fruit to mature; late frosts are particularly damaging.
