Q: I’ve had a kiwi vine growing great for six years, but no kiwis! I’ve learned I need a male and female vine. How do I know what sex I have?

A: If your fuzzy kiwi vines flower, it’s not terribly hard to determine their sex. Male flowers will have a strongly yellow center due to the pollen-bearing anthers. Female flowers are much more white due to the cluster of stigmas. I’ve collected links to pictures of kiwi flowers and a guide to raising them at xrl.us/kiwiflowers.
