Yourgarden.com's Specialist - Marian

Kiwi vines don't begin to give fruit until they have grown for 4 years. The maximum production is not attained until 8 years.

You can see the difference between the female and male kiwifruit by looking at the flowers of the vines. The female flowers have an obvious potential little kiwi in the flower, just like a femal pumpkin flower. The male only has the anthers that hold the pollen in the flowers. So you have to look very carefully when the vines are flowering.

Philip Swindells from the UK There are male and female clones available, thus guaranteeing gender. 'Tomuri' (male),'Jenny' (female), 'Hayward' (female).
