Paradiso Gene
VdB
Kathleen's Black

i'll have some others next year.

my wife tried hardy kiwi and she just loves them.

what's the best variety and where is the best source? i guess i'm looking for self fertilizing kind.

Pete I have  Anna,  Issai , i Meader male and Kiwi Hayward (Fuzzy) I can send you

PM me and I can send you 3 cuttings of ech trees once they go to dormant, or in the spring, let me know :) i would love to try growing hardy kiwi!

contact Kiwibob on this forum. he grows many different types of Hardy Kiwi.

Pete I also have hardy kiwi,

Dumbarton's Oaks
Chang Bai Mountain
Purpurea
Ken's Red
119-40-B
Issai
Anna
MSU
Mafil
2 different male pollinators

Plus the super hardy mini kiwis (Kolomitka) varieties.

In my greenhouse I have some hort16a (Zespri Gold) seedlings and one for sure is a male as it flowered last year. I have 3 others and hopefully one is a female.

Don't believe what you read about Issai being self fertile. You need a pollinator for it. Apparently after many years... it MAY set fruit without a male but the fruit will be smaller and in less quantity. The year before my male finally flowered my issai had hundreds of blossoms on it and not one produced a fruit. The next year with pollination i think every one fruited.

I've read Ken's Red is a favourite of many however mine hasn't fruited yet to judge. I do like Issai I find the skin more tender than the true argutas.

I have a vine and i just picked some fruit. 
If you are trying to root from cuttings, wait until mid summer. dormant kiwi cuttings are very difficult to root. I root them in the summer time while soft. 

Tyler,
My experience with Issai has been the same as yours in not being reliablly self-fertile.  I started some seedling of Zespri Gold as well 2nd year for them and still in the pot, but I am doubting they will ever be hardy for me I assume you plan on protecting them?

whoops see you have them in greenhouse, I was hoping maybe the Gold were more hardy then I thought

Bass,

OK. Summer cutting. How do you root them? Just like green fig cutting? I had really bad luck with green cuttings this year.

I stick about 10 cuttings into a 3 gallon pot with potting mix. remove all but one leaf on each. Then cover them with a large ziplock bag after I water them. I check back after 3 weeks and they will all root.

If you try rooting dormant kiwi cuttings they will show leaves but the cut will start callusing and will rarely develop roots. 

Semi hardened green cuttings are by far the easiest way to go like Bass says. I've had luck using 0.4% liquid rooting hormone on dormant cuttings using pure sand that is just damp and covered for humidity and kept warm.
