About 5 years ago I planted two kiwi vines. I bought and planted one labeled FEMALE and one labeled MALE.
As luck would have it, they finally both bloomed this year, and both are clearly FEMALE.
How do nurseries even know if a vine/tree is one gender or the other before they have obvious sex characteristics like flowers?
I've bought a third kiwi vine, supposedly male, but I hate to plant it just to find out in 4-5 years that it is also female.
