'''''Actinidia kolomikta''''' (Rupr. et Maxim.) is a species of [[deciduous]] [[dioecious]] [[woody plant|woody]] [[vine]]s in the genus ''[[Actinidia]]'' native to temperate [[mixed forest]]s 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 [[cat]]s, which can severely damage the vine. {{Inc| [[Actinidia]] kolomikta, Maxim. Climbing 15 ft. high: pith of branches lamellate, brown: lvs. ovate-oblong, 4-5 in. long, rounded or cordate, unequally setosely serrate, pubescent on the veins beneath, variegation white or pink: fls. white, 3/4in. across; ovary cylindric: fr. oblong-ovoid, blue, sweet.
