{"product_id":"kens-red-kiwi","title":"Kens Red Kiwi","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"40\" data-end=\"499\"\u003eThe Actinidia arguta 'Ken’s Red' is a unique variety of hardy kiwi, distinguished by its smooth, red-skinned fruit and sweet, aromatic red flesh. Unlike the traditional fuzzy kiwifruit, 'Ken’s Red' produces small, grape-sized fruits that can be eaten whole without peeling. This cultivar is particularly well-suited to the UK's climate, thriving in sheltered, sunny positions and offering an attractive, fast-growing vine for trellises, fences, or pergolas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"501\" data-end=\"975\"\u003eOriginating from New Zealand, 'Ken’s Red' is a female variety and requires a male pollinator, such as Actinidia arguta 'Weiki', to produce fruit. The vine is deciduous and vigorous, reaching heights of 2.5–4 metres (8–13 feet). It produces small, cream-white flowers in late spring, followed by clusters of red-fleshed fruits ripening in early autumn. The fruits are sweet, aromatic, and smooth-skinned, making them ideal for fresh eating or use in desserts and preserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003eTo ensure successful fruiting, it's essential to plant a male pollinator nearby. The vine prefers fertile, well-drained soil and benefits from regular pruning to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth. With proper care, 'Ken’s Red' can be a rewarding addition to UK gardens, providing both ornamental appeal and a delicious harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lincs Fruits","offers":[{"title":"Potted 1Ltr","offer_id":51556207034715,"sku":"KensRed-Kiwi-1pot","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/1590\/9979\/files\/Kiwi-KensRed01.jpg?v=1760713313","url":"https:\/\/www.lincsplants.com\/products\/kens-red-kiwi","provider":"Lincspplants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
