Artic Kiwi (Pasha - Male)

Pasha Arctic Kiwi is a hardy male kiwi vine valued both as a pollinator and as an ornamental plant. This vigorous climbing vine produces striking foliage that develops splashes of white and pink as the season progresses, creating a beautiful display that makes it one of the most decorative edible vines available.

While Pasha does not produce fruit itself, it plays an important role in the garden by pollinating female Arctic kiwi plants. Its flowers provide the pollen needed for fruit production on compatible female vines.

Arctic kiwi vines are extremely cold hardy and well suited to colder climates where other kiwi species may struggle. In addition to its practical role as a pollinator, Pasha is often grown for its unique variegated foliage and fast-growing vine habit that can quickly cover trellises, arbors, pergolas, or fences.
