Abstract Actinidia eriantha Benth. usually flowers in
late spring on shoots that develop from buds initiated during the previous
growing season. Documented here is the occurrence of secondary floral shoots in
summer on both male and female vines. Those summer shoots were produced by
"new" buds initiated during the current growing season. A series of sequential
shoot tip removals, to force the most distal developing buds, showed that those
secondary floral shoots could be induced when the primary shoots were tipped as
early as late November (late spring).
Keywords Actinidia eriantha; summer flowering;
secondary floral shoots
