Actinidia polygama
Japanese kiwi berries
The Japanese ray pen (Actinidia polygama), also called matatabi or silver vine due to its iridescent bark, originally comes from the forests of Japan and can also be cultivated in many regions of Europe.
The site conditions correspond to those of the kiwiberry (Actinidia arguta).
for a good start
Location
Kiwi berries need to be kept outdoors in both summer and winter. They prefer a partially shaded to sunny location. Since they are climbing plants, they require support (e.g., a trellis, pergola, or garden fence).
The soil should be slightly acidic and able to retain water well so that the roots do not dry out.
Hardy and robust
Care
Kiwi berries are extremely robust, easy to care for and hardy to -25°C.
They don't require any special care, just regular watering, pruning as needed, and fertilizer. Winter protection isn't necessary.
bee-friendly
pollination
To produce fruit, female flowers must be fertilized by male pollen. Fortunately, insects, primarily bees, take care of this for us.
All they need is a male kiwiberry (Actinidia arguta) nearby.
Traditional remedy
superfood
In traditional Japanese medicine, silver vine has long been valued for its healing properties. The fruits are said to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
In addition, extracts from the leaves and roots of the plant are used in folk medicine to treat ailments such as rheumatism and joint pain.
