Kiwi Fruit - Actinidia chinensis - Exotic Shrub - 10 Seeds SimplyHerbs Often used to underplant tulipsIn its native habitat Actinidia chinensis grows in thickets, thick (oak) forests (e. g. Quercus aquifolioides, Quercus oxyodon, Quercus lamellosa), and light secondary forests and bushland. A. chinensis prefers slopes and likes also to grow in ravines, top heights of 200 230m, relative to the local microclimate.
