| A nursery is offering this kiwi as being hardy on the Canadian prairie zone 3. I'm unable to find any real information on this selection said to have 2 inch fruits. Some of the kolomikta types can be successfully grown in zone 3 without winter protection, though isn't 'Chung Bai' of the more tender arguta kind? Terrance |

| Raintree Nursery has them and provides this information, "This seedling of cultivar 'Qui' Qui was selected near the border of North Korea from the wild near Chang Bai Mountain Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agriculture. We offer Chang Bai because it is very productive and flavorful.and the green fruit has a unique almost heart shape. Its from a cold mountainous region and should be as winter hardy as other hardy kiwis. Needs male arguta for pollination." I have seen indications that it is hardy to zone 4 at least. So it is hardy to at least -30 degrees. |

| It is my understanding that you need a male arguta kiwi to polinate the chung bai kiwi. If so and if you do not have one, I would like to offer you a trade of softwood cuttings of a male arguta kiwi for softwood cuttings of a female chung bai. Since hardwood cuttings are hard to root, I will take softwood (this year) cuttings in May or June and root them. If you do the same with your chung bai we can make a trade. I have two anna kiwi females and one arguta kiwi male. I have room for one more vine. My kiwis are to the left of this raised garden. |
