Description

Imagine harvesting sweet, grape-sized kiwis right from your own garden—no peeling required! The Kiwi Magic Hardy Kiwi Combination makes this dream a reality for Bay Area gardeners. This specially selected, self-fertile variety produces an abundance of smooth-skinned, incredibly sweet fruits on a vigorous and beautiful vine that thrives in our temperate coastal climate.

Produces clusters of small, grape-sized fruit with smooth, edible greenish-gold skin—no peeling necessary!
Flesh is emerald green, exceptionally sweet, and aromatic, with a perfect balance of tropical flavor.
A fully self-pollinating variety, so you only need one plant to get a reliable harvest, perfect for smaller gardens.
A vigorous, fast-growing deciduous vine that creates a lush, attractive cover on a sturdy trellis, arbor, or fence.
More cold-tolerant than fuzzy kiwis, making it an excellent choice for cooler Bay Area microclimates that may experience occasional frost.
Produces attractive foliage and delicate white-green spring flowers, offering multi-season interest.

Flavor Profile:

Flavor: Intensely sweet with tropical notes, much sweeter than the standard grocery store fuzzy kiwi.
Texture: Tender, juicy, and seedless in perception (tiny edible seeds).
Best Uses: Ultimate fresh snacking straight from the vine, fruit salads, desserts, and as a stunningly sweet garnish.

Frequently asked questions

View details

Q: Do I really only need one plant?A: Yes! Unlike most kiwi vines, this ‘Magic‘ combination is specifically bred to be self-fertile. A single vine will produce fruit.
Q: How is it different from the fuzzy kiwi at the store?A: Hardy kiwis are smaller, have smooth, edible skin (like a grape), and are typically much sweeter and more flavorful. They are also more cold-hardy.
Q: Where is the best place to plant it in my Bay Area garden?A: Choose a location with afternoon shade or dappled sunlight, especially in hotter inland areas. It prefers well-drained soil and consistent moisture. A north or east-facing trellis is often ideal.
