We have an older (20+ years) female kiwi that is still alive in spite of several attempts to prune her out of existence. Could she be successfully pollinated by a self-fertile variety like A. deliciosa 'Jenny' or A. arguta 'Issai'?
Thank you, vitog. So, if their bloom times do overlap, she can bear fruit once again? We tried to remove both of the kiwis because they are such aggressive growers, but the female has been sending up shoots every year. I'm beginning to rethink this.
@ponderoni good afternoon, I don't know if you have seen this thread :- Different Kiwi types, pollination question!!! There are some interesting posts on flowering times for pollination that might help you.
