Kiwifruit trees have male and female plants, male trees open male flowers, female trees open female flowers, kiwifruit male tree buds are much more than the female tree buds, and now many growers will graft the male and female together, but the grafted kiwifruit will still be female and male flowers respectively, so how to differentiate between male and female kiwifruit flowers? Here we look at the picture together.

Figure: kiwifruit male tree buds

Kiwifruit male flowers appear earlier in the female flowers, just opened, the stamens on the side of a circle of powder, the middle of the pistil is not obvious, the female flowers on the pistil will also have stamens, but will not be pollinated on their own, this is the value of the properties of the female flowers, the stamens are sterile.

Let's take a closer look at the pistil. As in the picture above, right in the middle of the flower, that pistil is just a heart, but the stigma on the pistil hasn't grown yet. In this one you can see some stigma in the center.

In summary, the female flowers generally have fewer hairs, the leaves are larger, the nodes of the gynoecium are more closely spaced on the female plant, and the point gynoecium's on the branches are generally long.
