What is it?

Oh, :) it is kiwi. Non fuzzy skin, and the fruit is the size of a very large grape. I LOVE the taste of them.

A smooth skinned kiwi!  Wow!  Do they taste different than the fuzzy brown ones?  Are they green inside?  Do you need males and females?

I think they taste like a grocery kiwi ( maybe even better) they do have green fruit,and they are self fertile. Although, it sets more fruit with a male pollinator. This particular plant is called Issau hardy kiwi .

Wow! It sure has a beautiful blossom. Even if it didn't have tasty fruit, I'd keep it for the flowers!

I wonder if those would grow out our way? Your climate is milder than mine, but still fairly similar.
