I have a kiwi plant/vine, have no idea what type as it was one of my

some tiny fruits. Has anyone got one of these plants to fruit
successfully when they only have one cultivar? Everything I've read says
you need at least two plants of the hardy variety, and this one is hardy
having spent the last two winters outside in a pot.




There are one or two hermaphrodite forms around. The usual one is Kiwi
'Jenny'.

Thanks Spider, have had a look at some pictures and the leaves on my plant
aren't as rounded as 'Jenny'...they look more like those of 'Arguta'.
