I got two kiwi plants about a week ago. (One male and one female.) They are doing decently in the place where we have them, which gets full sun for about half of the day. However, the tips of most of the stems (the ones that help it climb) are dead. Could anyone help me with this, or just with Kiwi plants in general?

I don't know anything specifically about kiwi. I was told not to bother here in icy zone 4. However, I wouldn't worry too much about those symptoms on a newly transplanted plant. Way too soon to tell... Keep it watered and feed it, if you want. After it has been in the ground awhile, you should start some new growth.. Good luck!

Thanks. The kiwi plants that we have are arctic kiwi, which are tolerant down to zone four.
