These are the northern grown fuzzless kiwis. They are the size of grapes and the whole fruit is eaten, skin and all. The variety is Issai. It is an old variety. Newer ones are larger and of many different flavors. They are ripe when very soft, almost mushy, and are deliciously sweet. One male plant must be planted per several females. It is said that it takes from 3 to 9 years to flower and fruit, but I have grown them so that they flower in one year by mulching them deeply with a mixture of dry and green grasses, mixed with legumes.
