"Dead" kiwi?

I just saw on todays episode of Volunteer gardener if you are unsure at whether a plant is still alive is to scrape a little bit off from the branch if it is still green underneath it is still alive. deb "Mark" wrote in message om... I got three kiwi vines (NZ hearty variety) a while ago and planted them along a fencerow. 2 female, 1 male. 1 female and the male have evidently taken root and are growing pretty well: two or three shoots off each, about 1' high or so. The third one sprouted a short green bud, but it turned blackish/brown and the plant has henceforth failed to sprout any further greenery. This is my first time trying to grow any fruiting vines, and I don't know if this series of events means the third kiwi just died, or if it has just gotten a really slow start. Should I leave it be and hope it comes alive, or should I dig it up and buy another female to replace it? Thanks, Mark I just noticed a **teeny** tiny green point coming out of a crease on the dry stub of the kiwi vine in question. It remains to be seen whether this is true growth or a bit of schmutz stuck in an interesting place, but I'm hopeful. Mark, MD |
