About 6 or 8 years ago I bought some Kiwi fruit in Tesco and after
eating them I went all schoolboy again and planted the seeds/stones(?).
They grew into sturdy plants and over the years put on a lot of growth.
This year for the first time they are flowering! I was reconciled to
their never doing that. Now I'm wondering if they may fruit too!

Has anyone here got one that fruits?

They certainly do grow from the seed. (To small to be stones!)
As Charlie says, it just depends if you have a male and a female.
Good luck! We had some germinate once but never got to fruiting them.

I rmemember once on GQT somebody saying that she planted a whole kiwi
friut! I can't remember the question rf the answers, just the
amazement of the team that she planted the whole fruit with so many
seeds.
