Hi Lovie
I don't think you are doing anything wrong I've been told they take at least 3 years to bear fruit. They are hungry feeders so give them lots of liquid manure in the spring when they start to sprout new leaves and then again 3 months later.Hope this helps.

We also had a male & female Kiwi which grew beautifully. After 4 years not producing, hubby threatened to chop it down & the following season we had so much fruit.

Which area do you live in? If you are not in the right climate the Kiwi Fruits probably wont grow. Also, have you been giving them enough food and water? Not that I know anything about growing Kiwi Fruits. If they are anything like passionfruit they take years and years to get fruit and if they don't reap the fruit then they can take over your backyard with suckers everywhere. Good luck with it and hopefully you will get some fruit soon.

Many moons back when I was establishing our garden, the literature re kiwi fruit indicated that it'd be 7 years before fruiting. That was too long for my patience..

check with your local nursery..I think grafted kiwifruit take 3-5 years to fruit, ungrafted probably take quite a bit longer..

Have you tried soft romantic music, wine and candlelight? Only kidding! Are the trees close enough together (seriously)?

If it was that easy I would of pampered them more. They are right next to each other. Maybe they are still young.

they may be too young or ornamental, but as always seek proffesional advice from a nursery
