Can Kiwi vines produce fruit if the male and female are different types?
As long as the come into flower at the same time, they should pollinate just fine. The difference would be if you planted the resulting seed from that pollination – you would get some sort of hybrid between the two types. But whether some varieties are “good pollinators” for another kind – mostly depends on timing. The bees have to visit both male and female flowers on the same trip – do if the flowers are not appearing at the same time, say, if the female flowers late, and the male flowers early, it won’t work so well.
