so no fruit last year blossomed well and then dropped all it's fruitlets except a few, this year masses of blosssom masses of fruitlets dropped again only a few fruit left, the leaves are green and healthy, it gets enough water as it's near my water tap, any suggestions please?

Thank you Charley bear, not many people grow them in the UK so advice was hard to come by here. My male/ female kiwi have fruited OK before, but despite a good mulch of compost the self fertile one seems stubborh loads of fruit formed but a good 90% dropped, more than I expected. I am not sure how to prune either the male female ones or the self fertile Jenny. They fruit quite late here so extend the fruit crop a bit.
