Issai' has a really remarkable flavor, much sweeter and more succulent than
the "fuzzy" kiwis found in most stores. The fruit is smooth, green, and just
a little soft when fully ripe. If your season is short, pick the fruit a
bit early and let it ripen in a paper bag with apples or pears. It's simple
to harvest and always delicious.
Best of all, 'Issai' is self-fertile, so you need plant only one. It thrives
in full sun to partial shade, and prefers good soil on the acidic side. Do
not fertilize this vine too heavily; this can trigger lush foliage growth
but poor flowering and fruiting. Prune it as needed in late fall or early
winter, or leave it be -- this Japanese cultivar is adaptable.
'Issai' is perfect for containers, particularly in the shorter seasons of
zones 4 and 5. It fruits somewhat late, making it a great choice for
southern climates as well. You simply cannot go wrong with this delightful
mini Kiwi!
