OGW has offered a female self-fertile kolomikta in previous years, although 
they waffle a bit on the description.

I lost  kolomikta in sunny locations as well.  Have one surviving female in 
shaded situation.

On the contrary, Dave.  Though I can't cite any off the top of my head, there 
seems to be ample anecdotal evidence (mine now included) that "male" kolos 
can and do produce fruits, however small and insignificant.

I was reading up on chip-budding and the article I saw indicated that 
Actinidia (kiwi) could be
chip-budded.

I wonder if you could grow the Argutas on a rootstock of Kolomikta.  If that 
works, you might be
able to use the existing roots to grow another variety, and possibly dwarf 
the Argutas.

Just thinking out loud, so to speak  ...I mean, write.

Dan
