About Anna
Fruiting plant with penny-sized green fruits and a taste similar to pineapple. Ripens early to mid-October. Pairs well with Meader.
Berries may get a reddish purple blush when grown in full sun, but this is a response to the sun and not a sign of ripeness. Kiwiberries are ripe when they compress slightly with gentle pinching. High in vitamin C and potassium. Grow in any moist but well-drained soil. May need extra water in hot weather. Do not over-fertilize. See U of M Extension for pruning guidelines, trellising info, and more.
