Actinidia Tetramera Var. Maloides | 3L Pot (60cm Cane)

A fast growing climber with variegated foliage. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: June Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) Many of the slender leaves of this unusual climber have a distinctive white blotch towards their bottom edge, which really stands out against the dark green backdrop. It’s primarily grown for its decorative foliage, however in summer, small clusters of pink flowers will also appear – and the female plants may go on to produce fruits if there is a suitable pollination partner nearby. Unfortunately we are unable to determine if a plant is male or female when it is sent out, so it’s a bit of a lucky dip as to which one you will receive. Garden care: Plant in a sheltered spot. Tie the main stems on to a series of horizontal galvanised wires. In early spring, remove any crossing, diseased or overcrowded stems.
