I have some Actinidia kolomikta (Arctic kiwi) seeds that I don't need. The fruits are gathered in the local arboretum, but went bad before we could eat them. The parent plants are all wild-sourced, from different parts of Russia (more precise locations available if anyone wants). The seeds are free, but if you happen to have any seeds you don't want we can do a swap as well. I'm potentially interested in anything edible and hardy, especially if it's perennial, and most especially if it can handle some shade.

I can definitely send the seeds within the EU, but if you live somewhere else and want some, PM me and we'll see if we can find a way.

I'd love to plant them and happy to pay shipping, but I'm in the US and don't want them destroyed by some bureaucrat if someone closer to you can use them. If no one else answers, hit me up.

I’m in the US and very interested if still available! I have been looking for these for a few months now. I think they’ll grow well here in Maine. I’ve only seen photos but they sure are gorgeous too.

I'm out of seeds at the moment, but might be able to get more this autumn. I'll see what I can do.

It’s appreciated! Even if it’s not, thanks for trying anyway.
