Why We Grow It

We grow Geneva 1 for its early ripening, consistent yields, and excellent flavor in cold climates. It performs well in northern orchards and helps stagger the harvest when grown alongside mid- and late-season cultivars.

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

One of the earliest hardy kiwis to ripen; selected at the Geneva Experiment Station in New York.

Geneva 1 is an early-ripening hardy kiwi known for its smooth skin, rich flavor, and reliable performance in shorter-season climates. The fruit develops a sweet, fragrant taste with good acidity, and ripens earlier than most other cultivars, extending the harvest window. Geneva 1 is productive, vigorous, and well-suited to growers in cooler regions who want dependable yields and earlier fruiting.
