Jenny Fuzzy Kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa ‘Jenny’) is a self-fertile kiwi variety that produces heavy crops of sweet, flavorful fruit without the need for a separate male pollinator. This vigorous, twining vine yields medium-sized fuzzy brown kiwis with vibrant green flesh that’s juicy, aromatic, and packed with vitamin C. Jenny is both productive and ornamental, featuring lush, heart-shaped leaves and fragrant white blooms in summer before setting fruit. Hardy and reliable, it’s an excellent choice for home gardens, arbors, or trellises where both beauty and productivity are desired.

Growing Jenny Fuzzy Kiwi

Light: Thrives in full sun for best flowering, fruit yield, and sweetness.

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil; amend with compost or organic matter to boost nutrients and drainage.

Water: Water deeply and consistently during the growing season, especially during hot or dry spells. Reduce watering when the plant is dormant.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and midsummer to support strong vine growth and fruiting.

Pollination: Self-fertile; unlike most fuzzy kiwi varieties, Jenny does not require a male plant for pollination.

Maintenance: Prune in late winter to shape the vine, encourage airflow, and renew productive wood. Train along a trellis or arbor for best fruit set and ease of harvest.

Hardiness: Grows best in USDA zones 6–9. Fruit ripens in late fall, providing a bountiful harvest of sweet, tangy kiwis.
