    I was looking at these climbers yesterday and was seriously tempted to buy one ... although I have one grown from seeds which I intend to bonsai.

    I was put off purchasing one because the label said you have lovely scented flowers in the summer but need a male and female plant in order to produce fruit.

    Can someone tell me, please, how I distinguish a male stick in a pot from a female one ????????

    Hi LoL
    I can't answer your question but when we were in New Zealand they were selling yellow Kiwi fruits which are, apparently, a newly bred version that are much sweeter than the green ones.
