Actinidia

Incredibly, in Russia you can find a plant whose fruits taste like exotic pineapple. We are talking about the actinidia vine. The species diversity of the plant is great, but not every species has berries that are edible. It is interesting that the flowers of only some species of actinidia are fragrant, the rest have no smell.

The main reason why actinidia is planted is its high decorative qualities. This plant is used for landscaping gazebos, fences, verandas and other surfaces. Actinidia prefers well-lit places, but can also grow in partial shade. The soil should be loose and there should be no stagnation of water.

Growing beautiful plants requires a competent approach. Everything you need to know about the rules for growing, caring for and propagating actinidia can be found in this section. So, to plant a plant, preliminary preparation of the site will be required. First dig a hole 60 cm wide and deep. Drainage will be provided by a layer of gravel and broken bricks. The excavated soil is mixed with fertilizers and, if necessary, sand. The transplant will go well if the actinidia seedlings are in the ground in early May.
