    Hi!

    I bought some kiwi seeds but i don't know if what is growing it is a kiwi plant. I put 3 or 4 seeds in a yogurt cup and one has germinated...

    Can you say me if what is in the next picture is a kiwi fruit plant or just weed?

    Looks like it. The pubescent foliage is suggestive. Allow it to grow on - it should become more obvious as it matures.

    Looks like it is an herbaceous plant with paired and opposite leaves in this picture. Actinidia spp. are woody vines with alternate leaves.
