Geneva 3 Hardy Kiwi

Geneva 3 Hardy Kiwi is an early-ripening female variety prized for its smooth-skinned, sweet, and flavorful fruit. The small, bite-sized kiwis are green with a hint of reddish blush when fully ripe, offering a tropical sweetness with a well-balanced tartness. This variety is known for its high productivity and ability to ripen earlier than many other hardy kiwi cultivars, making it a great choice for shorter growing seasons.

This fast-growing, vigorous vine thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring a sturdy trellis, arbor, or fence for support. Geneva 3 is exceptionally cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures as low as -25°F. Since it is a female plant, it requires a compatible male pollinator, such as Meader Male Kiwi, to ensure proper fruit production.
