Origin and Role of the Atlas Kiwi in Kiwi Orchards
Native to the mountains of China, the Atlas Kiwi belongs to the genus Actinidia . Unlike female varieties, it does not produce edible fruit. However, its role as a pollinator is absolutely vital to ensure optimal production of varieties such as the Hayward Kiwi or the Minkigold.
At Kiwiverse, we understand how crucial it is to ensure a smooth supply and personalized technical advice to maximize yields. Buying kiwi plants from Kiwiverse means choosing dedicated expertise.
