Am now getting the first batch of hardy kiwis from some a. arguta  
vines I planted almost 20 years ago & finally found a male (Meader) to  
pollinate it.  They are twice the size of the a. kolomikta fruits &  
have very strong hints of pineapple.  Skins are tougher & more present  
than the kolomikta as well.  Virtually impossible to tell if they are  
ripe by sight, have to squeeze each one.  These unpruned fines are  
grown up a few ash trees & I see some fruit up to 30 - 40 feet up.
