In my experience, I've found there are two important things to keep in mind. It needs to be planted in a moist area and it needs plenty of room to grow. They grow amazingly fast and do get huge.

btw, do u happen to know if your plant is a male/female?

I have no idea if its male of female. Do all males eventually become varigated, or is that only a particular type? It didn't get any flowers this year either.

Its an interesting vine, but not one that I know many people have in their gardens around here.

I believe you have the arctic kiwi vine, or variegated kiwi. Its not the fuzzy kind in supermarkets but a soft skinned, grape-sized variety. The reason I asked is because you have to have both male and female plants to produce kiwi fruit.

Sorry, mine isn't variegated, I was thinking of my friend's who actually has a male - female pair. I only have the one vine so it obviously won't be producing. I just bought it 'cause I kinda like the look of it.

Perhaps once I get it to flower and know its sex I will try to find one of the opposite.
