Actinidia giraldii Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a sound loamy neutral soil[1, 200]. Succeeds in semi-shade but full sun is best for fruit production[200]. Prefers a sheltered position[200]. Young spring growth is susceptible to frost damage[160]. Fruits are formed on second year wood and also on fruit spurs on older wood[126], any pruning is best carried out in the winter[219]. This is a climbing plant, supporting itself by twining around branches etc[200]. This species is closely related to and probably no more than a part of A. arguta[11]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. Unlike most members of this genus, this species is hermaphrodite[74]. For further Actinidia giraldii gardening information |
