Back when I was younger and ambitious and living in the local metropolis, I fooled around with gardening, and tried Siberian kiwi (actinidia). It arrived bare root and should have been fine, but it never budded.
Both varieties — Actinidia deliciosa and Actinidia arguta — take 3-5yrs — to bud and fruit. I naver had luck with them here in South Central PA, but they do grow nicely in the Baltimore area and south, seems like.
Did yours just not grow at all, after you planted it?
