Cultivation and Propagation

Actinidia fulvicoma is a deciduous, woody vine that can grow up to 10 m (33 ft) in height. It is best grown in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, moist soil. Propagation is usually done by cuttings or layering. Cuttings should be taken in late summer or early fall and should be about 10 cm (4 in) long. Layering is done by bending a low-growing branch to the ground and covering it with soil. The branch should be left in place until it has rooted, then it can be cut from the parent plant and transplanted.
