It very well could be squirrels, chipmunks, or even mice. I would try netting them or spraying with hot pepper water (but not for a few weeks before you pick the ripe fruits!).
]]>I bought 2 at lowes, supposedly self pollinators. I guess I’ll see sooner or later
]]>I suggest adding about 2 gallons of water per plant (slowly, so it doesn’t run off) twice a week in hot weather. Once a week in cooler weather. Continue to do this through the first 6 months, then switch to the same amount of water once a week for 6 months thereafter. By then the plants should be fully established
]]>It may be possible that someone who lives near you has a male vine that’s cross pollinating with your female if your male vine died. Could it also be possible that you’re improperly sexing the flowers?
]]>All hardy kiwi vines need some amount of chill hours, though some low-chill varieties exist. But, even the low-chill ones require about 100 hours of chill time. I would suggest growing fuzzy kiwis instead.
