While this female variety is similar to the fuzzy kiwi that you buy in the store (usually the variety ‘Hayward’), it is more winter hardy (to about 5 degrees F) and it is successfully grown from California to as far north as Vancouver, Canada, since it ripens a couple of weeks before Hayward. It creates medium-sized, sweet, easy-to-peel fruit.
Fuzzy female kiwis must be pollinized by a male fuzzy kiwi. Saanichton is considered low chill, requiring only 200 chill hours to reliably bloom and set fruit. Pair with Male Fuzzy kiwi (UPC H380) for low-chill areas.
Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 8
Mature Size:up to 40′ if unpruned
Sun: Full Sun
Ripening Time:Late October/Early November in the PNW
