I have inherited a kiwi fruit which is about 5 years old. How do I tell if it is male or female?also if I plant a self fertile 'jenny' will that also pollinate my unknown plant?

However, if the plant has been grown from seed (I have several grown from supermarket fruit), you'll be extremely lucky if you ever see a flower, I certainly have not in about 15 years!
You should be OK with Jenny or one of the others bred to grow in the UK as long as you have it in full sun and in a sheltered position (grown against a south-facing wall would be ideal.)
