my male kiwi thrived but my female has lost all leaves, they had same treatment, what went wrong
927720
mine both lost their leaves even though I had them over a year, then the got new ones last fall, then lost them again for winter. Now they are both fully leafed out and growing like crazy. Even if you think it's dead, it's probably not!

There are too many variables to consider. So we call it "random chance". You probably shouldn't expect better than 50% survival with these plants. Perhaps only 5 out of 10 plants will make it to year 3. That's what it means to buy a cheap plant!However, many vines, including hardy kiwis, will look like they've died back, but later sprout again from the ground. After winter, always give a plant like this until July to resprout from the ground. You can dig up the whole plant and examine the roots for life if you know what to look for. But just let it chill out for a while before deciding it's dead, because it might not be! There are too many variables to consider. So we call it "random chance".

Not sure...second I believe. I bought a two year old plant. It's leafed out but no flowers yet.

One of the plants survived the other died within a week. I guess this May have been related to shipping. Thanks Cathy

Mine is not doing that well either. All the leaves dried out and fell, but the trunk still green and alive....I'm hoping it will sprout some new leaves. I'd advice you to keep watering it and keep waiting, just like me. Good luck

I put the 2 plants I ordered in the ground after I got them around Father's Day, but they didn't do very well. Disappointingly, they both died. It's a shame; my husband fondly remembered Wintergreen from his youth, and he would have enjoyed seeing it spread.

I had the same issue. Ordered back in September and it recently stopped working. I contacted Mohu support directly and they were super helpful. They wrote back right away with: "I'm sorry to hear you've been having problems with your Leaf. I believe you have a defective Leaf antenna. We unfortunately had a batch of bad antennas that went out and are replacing all of them. We apologize for you receiving one but would gladly replace it. We will be sending a new Leaf Plus to your home. You should receive it in 2-3 business days."

I didn't have much luck with growing things this last year. I am not sure if it was the new soil I used or the weather as it didn't matter if it was in my raised beds or not. I have been adding compost this fall and winter so I am hoping I get a better return this next year. I have noticed that the top part of the raised bed has pulled apart. I am hoping I can push it back together. I am not sure why this happened.

If you go on line to any seed company and enter your zip code, it will tell you which zone you are in. If you are less than 4 or greater than 9, the kiwi may not do well for you. Please be aware that kiwi require very sturdy supports ... I didn't notice that until I ordered, and I don't have the space nor skills for a sturdy support. They also apparently have very specific requirements for soil and water .. which I apparently did not provide, as the male plant died. The female is doing fine, but without a male, is not supposed to be able to develop fruit. Hirt's provided excellent delivery and customer care. Good luck, if you choose to pursue kiwi!

I bought mine from Hirts it was beautiful,but had splotches on the undersides of the leaves. Over winter lost most of its leaves but is growing them back slowly.Also it has a few flowers and has about 6 lemons on almost bare stems.I just gave it fertilizer,I really hope it becomes lush with leaves again it was a beauty.

I don't have any flowers yet but all the leaves are turning red and falling off. I think I have some buds. I have several very short leaveless branches and two very tall shoots and all of these are just about leaveless now. They are advertised to grow good in a sun room or room with lots of light and that is where I have mine. I have tried to get info back from the company as to the condition of my plant and even sent some pics but no response from them as yet. I got mine July 2013 and I sure expected it to look a lot better than it does now. I am concerned that it is dying. Hope you have better luck than I am having!!

My first batch did not make it through the frost and I had to replant. But here is a website that gives more information about telling the difference. Hope it helps. http://www.ehow.com/how_7161305_do-between-male-female-plants_.html

Wish I could help; my papaya tree looked great when I got it, then day by day it started to shrivel up until it died completely. It was packaged well but maybe the cold got to it? Don't know but I was greatly disappointed.

Mine didn't even grow, she's nice enough to send me 2nd pkg. for the first pack only 2 seeds where whole enough to plant. 1 of them 2 seeds did sprout then die anyway inspite of me known to have green thumb, then the 2nd pkg (5 seeds) none sprout.
