    If you are looking to help regrow foliage, use a fertilizer that is a little higher in nitrogen. Plants use nitrogen to grow/regrow leaves. Don't go overboard with the nitrogen though, as too much can inhibit the plant from fruiting.

    In your area you would be ok with growing the more familiar tropical kiwi (egg size, fuzzy fruit). Actinidia deliciosa can take temps down to about 15F, so if you do not see temps lower than this, you can grow this kind.

    Keep in mind that you will need both a male and a female plant to produce fruit.

    Yes, as long as the container is large enough to accommodate the plants and allows for adequate drainage, this would be fine.

    The female flower will have a tiny fruit inside the blossom. Males will not. Until they flower, however, you cannot tell the sex.

    It is difficult to tell the difference between the male and female plants before they bloom. With the arctic varieties, the males will have a bit more variegation in the leaves. But other varieties are impossible to tell before blooming. Once in bloom, however, the female flower will have a tiny fruit inside the blossom. Males will not.
