i grow a different species....your growing fuzzy kiwis you bought at the store, Actinida deliciosa, correct? ive got 4 varieties of hardy kiwi, Acinidia arguta planted, 3 females(varieties Natasha, Tatyana and an unknown) and 1 male(Andrey). i plan on getting some arctic beauties, A. kolomika, and silver vine, A. polygama, over the next few years. my understanding is the fruit needs to be extreamly over ripe in order for the seeds to germinate but will double check my book tonight.
