How to divide kiwifruit trees into male and female

Kiwifruit has delicate pulp, sweet and sour taste, and high nutritional value. It is a favorite fruit. Although it is delicious, it is difficult for many growers to distinguish between male and female in planting. Kiwifruit is a dioecious plant, that is to say, it is divided into male and female, the male tree will not bear fruit, so it is very important to distinguish between male and female when planting, so how to distinguish between male and female? Come and have a look with the editor.

1. Look at the budding eyes

First of all, from the perspective of bud eyes, the bud eyes of most male kiwifruit trees are relatively protruding, while the bud eyes of mother trees are sunken, and the ovary of the mother tree appears more obvious after flowering, and the small fruit is gradually formed after pollination, while the public tree does not have an ovary, let alone the formation of small fruit.

2. Look at the flowers

Their flowers are the most obvious differences. first of all, the flowering time of male kiwifruit trees is generally earlier than that of female trees, so it is found that some trees bloom earlier than others in the orchard. Nine times out of ten, they are male trees. Then look at its buds. Generally speaking, the buds of male plants are relatively dense, mostly seven or eight growing densely in one place, and the buds are relatively small, while the buds of female plants appear to be few and loose, with only a few buds on a handle and larger. After flowering, the male flower has only stamens, and there is no stigma in the middle, but there is a circle of pollen on the edge, while the female flower constantly has stamens and a stigma for insemination in the middle.

3. Look at the bark

Their bark is also a little different, kiwifruit male tree bark is relatively rough, bark spots are more obvious, and the formation of stomata is generally round. On the contrary, the bark of kiwifruit sows is relatively smooth, and the stomata of the epidermis are generally long strips. We only need to touch the bark and carefully observe the stomata to distinguish them.

4. Look at the results

Kiwifruit male tree and female tree have a clear division of labor, the male tree will not bear fruit, it will only produce pollen, while the female tree is responsible for bearing, but without the pollen of the male tree, it cannot bear fruit alone. Therefore, in the result, you can tell who is the male and female at a glance, and as long as you make a good mark, you will not be confused in the future.
