Actinidia Jon Car – a fast-growing vine that reaches a height of 3 to 10 meters within a year. It is frost-resistant down to -30 °C and has an average life form of dioecious vine. The plant's growth is moderate, and its length in a pot is 10–25 cm at one-year-old seedling age.
Jon Car fruits have a green skin with a slight blush and a honey flavor. The average fruit weight ranges from 9 to 14 grams, and their length is about 3.5 cm. The fruiting tree blooms in mid-summer – from mid-May to early June, while the flowers have bright white shades. Harvesting is carried out in late August-end of September; one tree can yield over 5 kg of fruits.
For growing Actinidia Jon Car, loose, loamy soils with pH 5.5–6.0 are suitable. The plant tolerates drought and flooding well, and also has high resistance to diseases and pests. Fruits can be stored at temperatures from 0 °C to 2 °C for two months. Seedlings are obtained vegetatively – by cutting from the mother bush, which ensures self-fertility and quick rooting. They are packaged in P9 (0.5 L) pots and have a long life cycle, making them an ideal choice for gardeners looking for a reliable and nutritious Actinidia variety.
