Introducing Issai — the self-fertile hardy kiwi that makes growing this exotic fruit simple for northern gardens. Compact, vigorous, and sweet, it’s kiwi made easy.
Quick highlights:
• Hardiness: Very cold-tolerant for a kiwi.
• Productivity: High yields once established.
• Fruit size: Small, grape-sized smooth-skinned kiwis.
• Firmness: Tender flesh, ready to pop straight from the vine.
Unlike many other kiwi plants, Issai doesn’t need a separate male pollinator — it fruits on its own. Hardy enough for cooler climates and compact enough for smaller spaces, it’s perfect for gardeners who want a taste of the tropics without the fuss.
