We have a male kiwi vine that was pruned this winter. Today, I noticed one of the branches (that was pruned) was weeping significantly. Do I treat that and if so, how?

Don't think you need to, will dry up eventually......I'm told that you prune them in deep winter; otherwise they bleed all over everything for a long time until they finally heal up! So it's probably something that you'd have a hard time stopping.

Listen to Dave Thatâ€™s been my experience, too. Iâ€™ve learned to prune very early with fuzzy kiwi, as Iâ€™m still learning about hardy kiwiâ€¦

And nothing will stop the sap flow; but it's never appeared to hurt mine. Though late â€“ hard freezes will. Mine are leafing nicely, with fingers crossed~
