Kiwis grow well from seed, but since the male flowers and female flowers are on separate plants, it takes years before one knows the sex of the plant. After the long wait, there is always the possibility that the plants could turn out to be all male or all female. - Millet

Darren yes they are from Publix, but yes they are the fuzzy brown from the store. From locals I have talked to they will do fine in our climate. I was at a call at a little old mans house up in Summerville. He had about 20 plants he grew from seed over 10 years ago. From what he told me is once they flower, bud the females to the male & use the males as rootstock. He says one male will pollinate 6-8 female plants...

BTW: They have doubled in size since that pic was taken at the end of June...
