Clark Hardy Kiwi (male pollinator)

The Clark Hardy Kiwi is a male kiwi vine prized for its vigorous growth and ability to pollinate multiple female hardy kiwi varieties. While it does not produce fruit itself, it is an essential companion plant if you want abundant harvests from female varieties such as Anna, Ken's Red, and others. It is recommended to have one male for every 5-6 female plants. With its lush foliage and fast-growing nature, Clark also makes a beautiful addition to arbors, trellises, and fences.
