    I just bought the most yummy kiwi berries at the organic farmers market. If I squeeze out the seeds, dry them.....can I plant them? Any suggestions would be very helpful!!!!

    Start by checking local suitability. If your area indicated for growing this crop, then research growth from seeds. Drying of the seeds may inhibit germination. And since you will have seedlings of a plant that has only flowers on one sex on each specimen, some of your seedlings will be male and some female. Only the females will fruit, and then only if there is a male present to provide pollen. Fruit size and quality can also be expected to vary among seedlings.

    Just a quick cultural note. Kiwi like cool wintering and are not very fond of humidity... also you won't really be able to tell male from female untill flowering.
