Actinidia x deliciosa



7th November 2008


I have a couple of plants in the garden - possibly I only have one now, because I gave the second a good scaring when I built the Hedychium house (in which case I have lost my female plant, which I think was 'Bruno'). This is either 'Abbott' or the male 'Tomuri', I have forgotten which, but the details may emerge from the mulch of time, or more practically, I may find the label again! This one has been cut down repeatedly - it reaches up into an Alder, where I am happy to have it, but in the process it trails neck high ropes across the path and eventually I get fed up with ducking under it and cut it all down.

This one also needs cutting down repeatedly. As you probably can't see, it is slowly consuming a Hedychium house with the aid of Berberis thunbergii 'Auricoma' which is spiny enough to to keep me at bay until the situation becomes intolerable.

From time to time I neglect the plant and it sends a branch through the window into the Hedychium house, and those are the only branches that ever flower.
