Thanks for the link... I did Google some kiwi-growing resources before I posted but all the info was too intimidating for a non-gardener like me. I was hoping that there would be someone (or someones) who would know from experience roughly how long it takes for kiwi fruit to go from blossom to full-grown fruit... I know tomatoes actually tend to take quite a long time to mature (compared to some other fruits) and thus I'm afraid of leaving the fruit on the vine for too long. Is that even possible?

I do indeed have a male and female plant... And it did take 3 years (I think) to get our first fruit.
