Produces delicious fruits with a smooth and edible skin, smaller than supermarket kiwis. Very productive and reliably hardy. Medium-sized bright green fruits have excellent flavor. This was one of our favorites at UNH’s Kiwiberry Fall Field Day a few years ago.
Requires Meader Male for pollination. Z4. Maine Grown. (well-rooted vines)
Both male and female plants required for fruit. The females produce the kiwis, and one male will usually pollinate at least three females of the same species.
Plant vines 15' apart each way.

Delicious sweet chestnuts are an important food for both humans and wildlife. Use them for roasting, stuffing and soups, or dry them to make flour for baked goods. The tree’s profuse fragrant white blossoms feed the pollinators. Lustrous dark green foliage is ribbed and sharp-toothed. Yellow fall color.
Before 1900 the American chestnut was one of the most important deciduous trees in the eastern U.S. Chestnut blight showed up in Brooklyn, NY, in 1904; within 50 years it killed virtually every chestnut tree in the eastern U.S. The blight does not kill the roots however, and rare stands of stump sprouts can still be found. Hybrid chestnuts and Chinese chestnuts are resistant to blight
Chestnuts prefer loamy well-drained acidic soil and full sun. Two or more needed for pollination and all three chestnuts we’re offering this year will cross-pollinate with each other.
