Because the 3 different male kiwis I have bought in the last 3 years
have not had enough vigor to make it thru a wisconsin winter.  Just read
in Pilarski's kiwi journal that the Northwoods guy claims to have
collected some male kiwis, in russia I believe, which & extremely
vigorous & bloom by the 2nd year.  Sounds like a lead to me.

thanks for the answer, is there also a possibility that even tho the
fruit has set, it will slowly drop off before it matures?
