Additional Information about Actinidia arguta 'Anna'

In shorter growing seasons, in case of threatened frost, pick the fruit and place it in a paper bag with apples and pears to expedite ripening.

One of the parent plants of Actinidia kolomikta, Actinidia arguta, has become invasive in forests in New England. Consider Celastris scandens spp ('Hercules' and 'Diane') as alternatives.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Actinidia arguta 'Anna'

Actinidia arguta are dioecious: plants are either male or female and if fruit is desired, at least one male is needed to pollinate up to 4 females. Grows best in a moist to average, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. Excess shade may prevent the leaves from showing their variegation. Plants need a trellis or fence to twine around. Prune in late fall to the desired size. In shorter growing seasons, plant in a large container and bring inside before frost to allow fruit to fully ripen.
