I've had every male arguta that I've planted die except for 'Meader'....
maybe 7 or 8 total from a variety of nurseries.. The females just seem way
more winter hardy& a lot more vigorous growers. I did, however, manage to
softwood propagate some 'Meader' cuttings this year but the dog ate them
this winter...

& I just got 4 more male arguta from even other nurseries in the mail as
replacements& every one is a tiny twig that I feel like I'll need to grow
out in a pot for a year or two before I can even put them in the ground.

Does anyone know if there are any differences in requirements between a__________________
female and male Actinidia arguta? I have a female that I planted last
year and it's getting well established. Just 8 feet away I've had three
male plants bite the dust. We are in a location in NM that gets quite
hot in the summer and the sun is very strong.
I remember something about cats being attracted to the plants. The third
male looked like its one tender shoot had been physically destroyed
overnight. Nothing is bothering the female. Any ideas?
