The bud eyes of male and female kiwifruit are also different, especially in the dormant period of fruit trees, the distance between the bud eyes of male plants is relatively small, and the bud eyes of female plants are basically exposed, while the distance between the bud eyes of female plants is relatively large, and the bud eyes are basically sunken inward, belonging to recessive bud eyes.

3. Leaf identification

The plant shape of the male plant is relatively compact, the leaf is small and then, the whole leaf looks relatively round, and the leaf color is also relatively dark, while the female plant type is relatively loose, the leaves are obviously thin and larger, and the leaves look slender and pointed at the top. the color of the leaf is also lighter.

4. Distinguish on the bark
