Not that the variety has no value, just that it was advertised as though it
could be used to pollinate other kiwis, when it is useless for that, and it
is NOT very good at self-pollinating itself, either.   Though it's ability
to set with it's own pollen seems to vary according to climate.  I have
known single vines of it to set well one year and not so well the next, so
weather at bloom time may make a difference in that aspect.  Also,
while it appears to be a hardy kiwi, it really isn't any hardier than most
of the A. deliciousa types.  Other than that, it's a fine kiwi for home use.
