    I had a male plant in the past. It made flowers, but of course no fruit as I didn't have a female.
    Now I have only a female plant as the male died due to Vine Weevils.
    As I had no more space for another male, I wasn't really expecting fruit on the female Kiwi vine, but to my surprise it does give fruit without a male!
