My Anna Hardy kiwi female died, so I put another one in this fall. Not sure if it died too or just went dormant for winter. Guess I'll find out in the spring.

The male is doing well and the issai hardy kiwi is doing great too. Interested in @Kamikaze-Emu 's results.

Some good growth this year, about five feet on four vines and the base of the plant is filling out as well. No fruit at all, which was a bit of a bummer. Not sure if the female died off, as I know the male is still around. I will have to pay better attention to the flowers next year to see if both male and female are present.

Could just be due to the lack of maturity of the plants, however when you bought them there was a few fruit on.

Because of the thread I was thinking about the kiwis when I went outside today to run some errands. I stopped by their and noticed a single solitary kiwi on the vine. Nice to know both male and female are alive and well, I will have to assume maturity is the reason they are not fruiting much.
