M. Grishko National Botanical Garden of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kiev) are presented. These collections of Actinidia are the largest in Ukraine and includes 6 species and over 300 different cultivars and forms. This collection provides valuable material for further selective work with Actinidia in Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.
