    i bought an artic kiwi tree 3 years ago. the plant is growing well but no fruit. it is a self-pollinator so i dont need another tree. maybe not enough bees in my area. so went to buy some mason bees but not sure how to use it. any suggestion?

    Looks like you need the male and female.

    Arctic [artic] Kiwi (Actinidia kolomikta) [My square brackets]

    Liz

    (Zone 3) Very hardy and vigorous. The males and some of the females produce white and pink variegation when they start to flower. Fruit is smaller than the arguta kiwis but begins to produce in 2-3 years.

    Female - Produces oval fruit the size of a large grape.
    Male (K) - Pollinates females, can pollinate several females
