The kiwifruit is male and female, and it is a dioecious plant. The female tree has complete flowers, but the stamens are abortive and do not produce good pollen, while the male tree's flowers are abortive and do not form ovules, which means that the male and female flowers alone are incomplete, and need to be combined in order to flower and bear fruit.
Is there a male and female kiwifruit
The kiwifruit has a male and female, but generally there is no clear distinction between the fruits,The tree is differentiated, the male tree is responsible for pollination of the female tree after flowering, and the female tree is responsible for receiving the male pollen after flowering to bear fruit.
