Each vine can grow up to 20 ft in a single season, given ideal growing conditions. [13] For commercial planting, placement is important: plants can tolerate partial shade, but yields are optimized with full sunlight. Hardy kiwi vines consume large volumes of water; therefore, they are usually grown in well-drained, acidic soils to prevent root rot.
Actinidia kolomikta, the kolomikta, [2] miyamatatabi, [3] super-hardy kiwi, [4] or variegated-leaf hardy kiwi, [5] is a species of flowering plant in the Chinese Gooseberry family (Actinidiaceae), native to temperate mixed forests of the Russian Far East, Korea, Japan and China (Eastern Asiatic Region).
They are primarily produced by three species: Actinidia arguta (hardy kiwi), A. kolomikta (Arctic kiwifruit) and A. polygama (silver vine). They are fast-growing, climbing vines, durable over their growing season. They are referred to as "kiwi berry, baby kiwi, dessert kiwi, grape kiwi, or cocktail kiwi". [16]
In Japan, Actinidia polygama (silver vine) is noted for having an effect on cats much like that of catnip.

This list of longest vines features vine species that can grow very long or vine specimens that are the longest in the world. This list is not all-inclusive in part because many species have never been measured, and also because more careful measurements are needed for many species on this list.
Arctic vegetation is largely controlled by the mean temperature in July, the warmest month. Arctic vegetation occurs in the tundra climate, where trees cannot grow.Tundra climate has two boundaries: the snow line, where permanent year-round snow and ice are on the ground, and the tree line, where the climate becomes warm enough for trees to grow.

Actinidia deliciosa, the fuzzy kiwifruit, is a fruiting vine native to Southern China. Other species of Actinidia are also found in China and range east to Japan and north into southern areas of Russian Far East. This species grows naturally at altitudes between 600 and 2,000 metres (2,000 and 6,600 ft).
