Difference between male and female hardy kiwi flowers?

13 years ago

I have been growing hardy kiwi (arguta) for four years. I have a trellis of five females and two males. I have my first bloom this year, and it is huge! I do not know if the blooms are all female, male or a mixture of both. Is it possible to sex the plants by the bloom?

Thanks

So, Earthday, do you have both males and females?

Nice close-up pics Tyler!

both in one flower but male can be in this case inactive, better to pollinate with separate male flowers.
