A hardy vine that grows fast in rich moist soils, more moderately in less ideal conditions. Attractive green foliage and fragrant green-white flowers that become small, edible fruits. The fruits are smooth-skinned and can be eaten whole. The flavor is similar to but a little sweeter than a common kiwi. 'Issai' is a cultivar that requires less pruning than the species and will produce fruit with only a single plant.
