Actinidia deliciosa ‘Tomori’ (Male)
Actinidia deliciosa 'Tomori' is an excellent male plant for pollinating female vines.
This is the species that brings you kiwifruit! Actinidia deliciosa is a large, rampant, decidous vine that needs a structure or large tree to climb on and a lot of space in which to sprawl. It has brown fuzzy stems, large, rich green, heart-shaped, textured foliage, pure white flowers centred with masses of golden stamens and the fuzzy brown berries that we call kiwifruit. Full sun and rich soil are the best for fruit production though tolerant of part shade. ‘Tomori’ is an excellent male plant for pollinating female vines.
