Why We Grow It

We grow Chang Bai not just because it has the biggest fruits of kiwi cultivars but also for its reliability, vigor, and proven cold-winter adaptability. It delivers high yields of flavorful fruit and is one of the best choices for growers seeking maximum hardiness without compromising fruit quality.

How the Plant Grows

Ananasnaya is a vigorous, twining vine that can grow several feet per season once established. It forms dense foliage on sturdy support structures and sets large clusters of smooth-skinned green fruits that ripen late summer to early fall. The vines are highly cold tolerant and resilient, with reliable fruiting in northern climates when properly pollinated. Growth is fast and productive under full sun with regular pruning to maintain structure and airflow.

Plant Size

Size at Maturity- Vertical/Climber layer. Vines can grow up to 50-100 feet long when provided with ample support

Current Size- 1 year old rooted cutting field grown Female Large 10"+

Additional Info

Originates from the Changbai Mountains on the China–Korea border, an area known for extreme winter cold and hardy Actinidia genetics. Not from a breeding project but rather a wild chance specimen.

Chang Bai is a cold-hardy hardy kiwi originating from Northeast Asia, selected for its exceptional hardiness, productivity, and robust growth. The fruits are smooth, sweet, and pleasantly aromatic, with a slightly larger size than many standard hardy kiwis. It thrives in northern climates, producing heavy crops once established and handling cold winters with ease.
