Except Kiwi hybrids that are self pollinating, most Kiwi vines needs a male Kiwi pollinator. Both A.Arguta and A. Kolomikta have male Kiwi vines that can pollinate either variety.

Sad to say, that although I have Kiwi vines for the last 5 years, I haven't seen them produced any flowers at all.

For more info on Actinidia, please see link below.
