Will I get fruit on my supposed self fertile Kiwi? There must be 30+ flowers this year and the bees are doing their business.

Just googled Chinese Gooseberry, yes that is Actinidia, the Kiwi fruit you can buy in the supermarkets. Oh, dear, I really wanted some fruit this year, and last year I threatened it with a FIG!!!!!

Lol Sue you will have fruit quicker if you buy a fig ,I have loads of figs forming on my tree ........

Edible? I do like figs.

Yes edibel Sue the problem is I'm the only one who likes them and you can bet they almost all ripen at round about the same time ,I tried freezing them but didn't like them very much ...

Have you made fig jam? I have done this with overripe figs in France. But a bit of orange peel adds flavour.

I haven't Sue I've gone to the trouble of making jams with fruit nobody else has liked before I'm afraid it usually gets left on the shelves for ever , I've given up its a waste of sugar ;o(

No flowers on our Jenny, and I cannot see if the fig is bearing fruit because it is too tall lol

The stems, bearing flowers, are completely across the front of the car port, they look superb.

Is this Actinidia so called Chinese Gooseberry Sue if it is mine was full of flower this year and has been for all the years I've had it but never anything that looked like fruit :o( I might be wrong this might be something quite different !
