I have tried to grow Kiwis before.. no problem, really with the vine itself, but haven't had any fruiting success. Must say they are attractive plants, with large, fuzzy but fragile leaves and wonderfully fuzzy (new fuzz a deep red) tendrils. They grow all over everything which can be a bit of a pain sometimes. And they tend to die back if transplanted (all the vining tendrils wither and die)... but come back eventually. THey are not drought tolerant (found that out the hard way). You need a male and female, and pollinators, to make fruits.

Regional...
