Kiwifruit pollinizer
Actinidia chinensis Planch.
Kiwifruit is a dioecious crop requiring the selection of male pollinizers of the strictly same species to ensure effective cross-pollination.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Kiwifruit, where this is mentioned in the description.
Kiwifruit is a dioecious plant in which male and female flowers develop on separate individuals, making the presence of a pollinizer mandatory for fruit set. The key criterion for selecting a male plant is the precise synchronization of flowering periods with the female cultivar and their biological compatibility within the same species, as interspecific pollination is highly ineffective.
In commercial horticulture, the standard ratio is one male plant per 5–10 female plants. Although self-fertile cultivars exist, such as Jenny, the presence of a specialized pollinizer is critical for obtaining a high-quality yield, and the use of random male individuals of other Actinidia species does not guarantee stable fruiting.
