At the beginning of the 20th century, Ivan Michurin began breeding work with Far Eastern actinidia. His idea to grow a crop in the Middle zone of Russia was picked up by many Soviet scientists. Actinidia appeared in the Urals, in the Moscow region, in Central Russia and even in the northern regions.

The plant can be grown in cold latitudes, where the frost-free period lasts 3-5 months. The leaves can change their color. In young plants, they are bronze, then they become greenish, bright pink or white spots appear in the third year of life. In autumn, the foliage acquires a yellowish, crimson, purple-red hue.

Variegated foliage is well expressed in lianas growing in sunny areas.Fruits are edible berries of cylindrical shape, greenish, reddish or yellowish color, with vertical stripes on the skin.
