Actinidia consists of robust, primarily deciduous climbing plants that twine as they grow. The leaves are typically simple and ovate, with some species exhibiting variegation. Female or hermaphrodite plants produce small cup-shaped flowers, which may yield edible fruits.

Actinidia deliciosa is a robust, deciduous vine characterized by thick stems adorned with reddish-brown hairs. Its leaves are broadly ovate and heart-shaped, exhibiting a mid-green hue. During early summer, the plant produces clusters typically consisting of two to three creamy white blooms. The female specimens yield ovoid-oblong fruits with a bristly texture, displaying a greenish-brown coloration. This species has led to the development of several cultivated variants.

Actinidia deliciosa 'Hayward' is a robust, deciduous vine that can reach heights of 10 meters. Its leaves are heart-shaped, growing as large as 20 centimeters, and its thick stems are adorned with reddish-brown hairs. In summer, the plant produces small clusters of creamy-white flowers, each measuring up to 4 centimeters in diameter. To achieve fruiting, it requires a male counterpart for pollination, resulting in the development of edible greenish-brown fruits that can grow up to 7 centimeters long in autumn.

Actinidia deliciosa 'Jenny' is a robust, deciduous vine that can reach a height of up to 6 meters. Its foliage consists of sizable, heart-shaped leaves that are mid-green with distinctive red tips. In early summer, this variety produces small clusters of white flowers. By late summer or early autumn, it bears hairy, brown fruit resembling eggs in size. 'Jenny' is self-fertile, meaning it does not require another plant for pollination and typically begins to bear fruit within three years of being planted.

Actinidia deliciosa 'Solo' is a robust, deciduous climbing plant that can reach heights of up to 5 meters. It features fuzzy, heart-shaped leaves that are a vibrant mid-green, complemented by young stems that display a rusty red-brown hue. In the fall, the foliage turns yellow, adding seasonal interest. During late spring or early summer, this variety produces small clusters of fragrant cream-white blossoms. These are succeeded by fuzzy, brown, egg-shaped kiwi fruits, which can be harvested when the first frosts of autumn arrive. Notably, 'Solo' is self-fertile, meaning it does not require another plant for pollination.

Actinidia deliciosa Solissimo ('Renact' PBR) is a robust, climbing plant that sheds its leaves in winter. It features thick stems adorned with reddish-brown hairs and broad, heart-shaped leaves that are mid-green and slightly fuzzy. In early summer, it produces clusters of typically two to three creamy white flowers, which are succeeded by fuzzy, egg-shaped brown fruits that mature by the onset of autumn frosts.
