{"product_id":"chang-bai-hardy-kiwi","title":"Chang Bai Hardy Kiwi","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eActinidia arguta 'Chang Bai'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChang Bai is a seedling of the cultivar 'Qui' that shows outstanding characteristics. Qui was selected near the border of North Korea from the wild near Chang Bai Mountain Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agriculture. We offer Chang Bai because it is an unusually productive and sweetly flavorful green fruit with a unique, almost heart, shape. It's from a cold mountainous region and offers the same durable winter hardiness as other hardy \u003cem\u003earguta\u003c\/em\u003e kiwis. A late-flowering variety, it can be pollinated by hardy \u003cem\u003earguta\u003c\/em\u003e males and early-blooming fuzzy \u003cem\u003edeliciosa\u003c\/em\u003e males alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fast-growing, beautiful vines produce clusters of oblong kiwi fruits the size of large grapes. Lacking the rough \"fuzzy\" kiwi skin, these smooth fruits can be eaten whole, like bunches of kiwi-flavored seedless grapes. Originally brought to this country as an ornamental, the green fruit is similar to the fuzzy kiwi in flavor, though sweeter and easier to eat. The smooth-textured vines are very vigorous and need a strong support. Training a fruiting female vine up the legs or railings of a deck, or along an unattractive chain link fence, can create a great tropical effect and be uniquely easy to harvest! Have a hardy \u003cem\u003earguta\u003c\/em\u003e or fuzzy \u003cem\u003edeliciosa\u003c\/em\u003e male for pollination, and allow 3-5 years to begin flowering and fruiting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold Hardy to USDA Zone: 5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size: Up to 40' Long\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun: Full Sun to Afternoon Shade in hot climates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRipening Time: Early Fall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination: Needs a Pollinizer - one Male for 6-8 Females\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRead our Kiwi Growing Guide\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"2 Quart Pot","offer_id":48649210462363,"sku":"CMFPB 4403216285751","price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/2248\/7963\/files\/shutterstock_1204588393.jpg?v=1779968184","url":"https:\/\/groworganic-us.com\/products\/chang-bai-hardy-kiwi","provider":"Grow Organic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
