I'll take a stab at this.  I, personally, would want to have my male kiwi
pollinators as separate plants because I think it make things much easier to
manage.  Males are a lot more vigorous than the females and could very easily
overtake a female vine if you aren't very careful.  On top of that they get
pruned differently in the dormant season (don't need to leave nearly as much
male wood) and males will often need to be hacked at in the growing season as
well in order to keep them manageable and keep them from taking over.

I am intrigued that nobody answered the question I posed last week - why not
just graft on a
branch of a male to one's female kiwi, rather than devote an entire
(non-bearing) plant to the
fertilization function? Much more space-conserving, and perhaps even more
efficient given
the close spatial relationships of male and female flowers.

Dave,

the answer is thst not evrryone grafts...but evetyone can put a plant in the
ground!

Grafting part of a female over to a male branch is much more efficient

Altrrnatively if one only has two plants--one male,one female--it would bd
wothwhile to work over part of thr
male to a producing female
