how can I tell a kiwi gender. I have nurseries that have them and they don't even know. I want fruit for my efforts and you need both . . . help! Good pictures that would explain the gender, but every plant I have seen so far are flowering yet!????
Re: kiwi plant male or female Or purchase the self pollinating type--Actinidia arguta. We have one and it is a profuse fruiting vine. They have an acuminate leaf but the same fuzzy, cinnamon coloured vines s regualr kiwi(especially effective in winter). The smooth-skinned fruit is about half the size of regular Actinidia chinensis fruit, but just as tasty and you don't have to peel them -- just rinse and eat, like grapes!
Link to a good picture where both flowers are side by side: see post http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=62350
