Bower Actinidia, Hardy Kiwi, Tara Vine, Yang Tao 'Ken's Red'

I have four Ken's Red kiwi vines planted in 2012 (2 male, 2 female) that have yet to flower. One pair was from Hirt's Gardens, the other ...Read Morepair from Brushwood Nursery. I'm afraid I may never see a kiwi, but the vines are very strong and imposing, reminiscent of the wisteria I finally did away with after 12 flower-free years.

I grow mostly native plants, fruit and vegetables being the exception. I won't be able to justify having them if they don't flower soon!

I wonder how many others have had the same problem with kiwis. So disappointing to be told to just wait longer.

Smooth red skinned delicious fruit with red flesh. Ripens just after Ananasnaya and Chico. Pollinated by male hardy kiwi - A. arguta.
