Actinidia chinensis and actinidia deliciosa don't produce pollen at the same time.

How sure are you of that tommoz? Daleys have been recomending using a standard green mate for sweetie until there low chill male sweetie was released.

Christian de Kezel told me the pollen is viable of course but I seem to recall that chinensis type Hongyang is very early, there might not be overlap depending on the climate and what deliciosa male you have (Tomuri, Matui, Bruno male). But in hindsight most people shouldn't have a problem.

I have both a yellow sweetie kiwifruit and a green one here in Sydney. The Sweetie flowers considerably earlier than the green - They don't overlap so there would be no pollination

I agree. I have a green male and female, sweetie flowered way before both of them. Unfortunately my low chill sweetie male from Daleys also started flowering a few weeks after all flowering had finished on both Sweetie and Waynes. It may be that my low chill male is young and not flowering early yet has any one else noticed this problem?

Interestingly sweetie still has a small amount of fruit on the vine perhaps it is has some self compatibility. Waynes has no fruit this is its second year flowering the vine is large and healthy.

I would be very interested if anyone has a low chill kiwi male that synchronizes well with Sweetie and Wayne's. Happy to buy or swap a range of botanical treasures for Scion wood.

Hi allybanana - I have the Sweetie from Daleys and the male that 'went with it' from them too. They flower together and I get heaps of fruit - if you are ever up in (far) northern Sydney I'm happy to give you some wood. When I prune I do LOTS as the plant male is practically feral!

Thanks Linda that is positive, hopefully next year will be better for my sweetie male. My male sweetie should be the same as yours in which case I wont need wood to graft, but thanks for the offer.

By the way does your sweetie male have much more hairy stems than your female sweetie and are the leaves more pointed.

Well this sounds like my problem. I planted a sweetie female and a general male (deliciosa) about 6 years ago. After a couple of failures I think I'm on my third male. They both flowered last year (2020), I think for the first time but didn't really overlap. I found one old fruit when pruning in winter. I'm on the waiting list with Daley's for a male sweetie. Right now (23/9/22) the female is covered in open flowers but there is no sign of growth on the male yet. I think the long term is to get the male sweetie but I wondered if I could do some manual pollinating now if I could get male flowers/pollen from somewhere. I am in Wollongong.
