>The fast-growing, climbing vine is very hardy (hence the name hardy kiwi), and is capable of surviving slow temperature drops to -34°C (-30°F), although young shoots can be vulnerable to frost in the spring.[2] The vines need a frost-free growing season of about 150 days, but are not damaged by late freezes, provided that temperature changes are sufficiently gradual to allow plants to acclimate.

>While their tastes are similar, hardy kiwifruits are different from the kiwifruits you find in the produce aisle at the supermarket. The hardy kiwifruit (Actinidia arguta) is native to northeastern Asia, while its commercially available cousin (A. chinensis) is native to southern China. In the eastern United States, the commercial kiwifruit grows only as far north as Maryland and then only in protected spots. Hardy kiwifruit plants tolerate temperatures as low as -25°F or so, but are sensitive to late spring frosts.

>The fruits, which are about the size of a large grape, aren't covered with fuzz, have small seeds, and can be eaten out of hand without peeling. They also have excellent flavor, can be dried or made into wine and are higher in Vitamin C than most citrus fruits. Some people find they have a strong laxative effect.

>Note: Hardy kiwifruit may smother neighboring trees if plantings are abandoned. This may have occurred once in Massachusetts and again in New York on Long Island. The plant grows as a smothering vine in these two locations.
