In reference to the previous articles that
have been posted to NAFEX, regarding the integrity of plant
sales, we would like to add another to the list.
Please take a moment to look at this ad.
What's wrong with this picture? Alot of
things.
Firstly, the "Hardy Kiwi Vine with fruit" picture
is not an Anna.
Second, the "Delicious fruit of the Hardy Kiwi"
picture is really a Deliciosa (fuzzy) kiwi.
But the real clincher is the male pollinator, an
Actinidia kolomikta "Arctic Beauty", which blooms much too early to
pollinate an Anna female. So...based on this fella's
suggestions...there's no fruit in your future!
We have personally spoken with this nursery, have
pointed out the discrepancies, and it seems that they just don't
care.
We call this the epitome of "Actinidia Nursery
Roulette"
So...buyer beware!
