Does anyone have any experience with this plant? I know they are a gendered plant, the male plant has a trailing habit /vining habit. (Or is that the female?) How is the fruit?
cheers

artic kiwi advice sought
Male and female are both vines. Helps to tie them into place to train them and keep them where you want them.
I know commercial Kiwis are trained on high stakes (sort of like small telephone poles) and can cover an arbor very well.
Male Arctic Kiwi has more colorful leaves, with cream and pink splashed all over the bright green.
Female plant is usually more subdued, with some coloring showing up, but not much.
I have not tasted the fruit, it is my understanding it is a lot smaller than the commercial Kiwi, but edible.
