Actinidia deliciosa 'Jenny' — Organic self-fertile Kiwi — Ø13 cm — H45 cm
🌿 Climbing fruit vine • 🥝 Self-fertile variety • 🌱 Organically grown • ☀️ Sun to partial shade • 💧 Regular watering • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Actinidia deliciosa 'Jenny', a variety of self-fertile Kiwi, is a spectacular climbing fruit vine grown organically, known for its delicious kiwis rich in vitamin C and ease of cultivation. This exceptional self-fertile variety does not require a male plant to fruit, making it perfect for small spaces, balconies, and terraces where a single plant is enough to harvest fruit. It features large tender green heart-shaped leaves and a fragrant white spring bloom followed by tasty fruits to harvest in autumn.
Originating from China, Actinidia deliciosa is a vigorous vine from the Actinidiaceae family that has become one of the most popular climbing fruit plants thanks to its tasty fruits and rapid growth. The 'Jenny' variety is especially appreciated for its unique self-fertile character that allows harvesting kiwis without needing a second pollinator plant — a major advantage for balconies and terraces where space is limited. With a height of 45 cm and a pot diameter of 13 cm, it is perfect for dressing a pergola, trellis, balcony, or sunny terrace. Enjoy the satisfaction of harvesting your own kiwis directly from your balcony, rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.
Exposure & location
The Actinidia deliciosa 'Jenny' enjoys sun to partial shade with bright exposure for generous fruiting. The more light it receives, the more abundant the harvest will be.
- Exposure: sun to partial shade (minimum 4-6 hours of sun per day).
- Ideal: sunny balcony, terrace, pergola, trellis, south or west-facing wall.
- Temperature: -15 to 30 °C, hardy and cold-resistant.
- Substrate: rich, deep, and well-drained, potting soil for fruit trees with compost.
Verdeia tip: provide a sturdy support (trellis, pergola, wire) as the vine can reach several meters in length and becomes quite heavy with the fruits.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering: regular; keep the substrate moist without waterlogging, especially during fruiting.
- Frequency: about 2-3 times per week in spring-summer, reduce in winter.
- Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
- Humidity: tolerates dry air, no need for misting.
- Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with a liquid fertilizer for fruit trees.
- Pruning: prune at the end of winter to maintain a compact shape and encourage fruiting.
Regularly tie new shoots to the support to guide growth and create a harmonious structure.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
With its fragrant white spring flowers and decorative fruits, Actinidia deliciosa 'Jenny' brings a gourmet and rustic touch to your balcony or terrace. It creates a productive and aesthetic focal point.
- To pair with: Lavender, Rosemary, Thyme, Strawberry, Vine or other edible plants to create a gourmet urban vegetable garden.
- Ideal pot: large terracotta, ceramic, or wooden pot (minimum 30-40 cm in diameter) to allow good root development.
- Atmosphere: perfect on a sunny balcony, terrace, pergola, trellis, or green wall to create a productive and decorative space.
Large leaves create pleasant shade in summer and the spring flowering attracts pollinators.
