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.
