Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery

KIWIFRUIT, Actinidia deliciosa

Kiwifruits grow on a vigorous and long lived deciduous vine.  Kiwifruit is a great tasting, highly nutritious treat. To eat, cut the fruit in half, then scoop the delicious flesh right out of the skin.  They can be added to fruit salads and desserts as well as to savoury dishes, they go particularly well with avocado's, fish, chicken and prawns.  They do not however combine well with yogurt as there is an enzyme in it that they react to. 

Kiwifruit - Male

Preferred Male Kiwifruit pollinator. A non-fruiting, all purpose male used as a pollinator for female vines. 1 male per 8 females. Is also used as a pollinator for A. arguta (hardy kiwi).

Kiwifruit Sweetie (Female)

A very low chill kiwifruit selected by Daleys from a seedling commercial golden kiwifruit. Small to medium sized sweet yellow/green flesh. Vigorous and hardy. Well suited to the subtropics

Kiwifruit - Waynes

Selection  from  a Chinese variety found in a local market. Parent fruit had touches of red radiating from seed. Fruit large, hairless and sweet, low acidity. Still need a few more years to evaluate. Very low chill. Looks promising for warmer subtropical areas as a backyard variety.

Kiwifruit Seedling

Seed selected from a very sweet yellow fruited variety. We have found these seedlings to flower within 3 years from seed and exhibit low chilling requirements They will not come true to type but may be worth experimenting with to see if you can come up with your own special selection. Remember they are dioecious and hence seedlings may be male or female. They also make an excellent rootstock for grafting Kiwifruit varieties onto.

Kiwifruit - Hayward Kramer Female

Most popular commercial kiwifruit variety. Excellent quality and size, but does require a higher chill requirement than most other varieties. Kramer is an improved bud sport of the original Hayward

Hardy Kiwifruit Seedling

A small, green to purple skinned fruit similar to kiwifruit. Often sweeter than the kiwifruit, hardy kiwifruit can be eaten whole and need not be peeled. Thin-walled, its exterior is smooth and leathery, providing a deceiving contrast to the fuzzy, brown exterior of its larger sibling fruits.
