Hi Andrew!
I've never grown kiwi!
Did some research:
From what I gather, even though they are said to be self-fertile (Jenny, Baby, Issai, and others), it is best to grow a male nearby to ensure that pollenation occures!
Fruit from self-fertile vines tend to be smaller and not as hairy.
The vine themselves are more compact.

Welcome Andrew! Keep us up on how your kiwi's do. This is something I have always wanted to plant but never done. You and I share a zone. I am a little south and across the river from St. Augustine.
