Actinidia kolomikta (Rupr. et Maxim.) is a species of deciduous dioecious woody vines in the genus Actinidia native to temperate mixed forests of the Russian Far East. It is a very long-lived vine, which ultimately grows to 8-10 m (about 26- 33 feet). A. kolomikta is the hardiest species in the genius, at least down to about -40°C/-40 F in winter, albeit somewhat susceptible to late spring frosts.
Actinidia kolomikta is cultivated in cold temperate regions as an ornamental plant and also because of relatively small (2-5 g or 0.07- 0.18 ounces) kiwifruit-like delicious berries it produces. There are a number of named cultivars bred for the latter purpose in Russia and Poland, though it takes years for a plant to start yielding, and because A. kolomikta is dioecious a male pollenizer plant is required for the wild vines and most of the cultivars.
The plant is attractive to cats, which can severely damage the vine.
