Don't you have to have the male and female plant to get fruit(y)?

Not all kiwi fruits need male & female plants to fruit.  I have a single one and I get delicious fruits out of it.

To be honest, I took this photo a good month ago to post this question and then totally forgot about it and havent actually looked for or noticed any flowers since.  I will have a look tomorrow.  Im quite surprised.  Thought it was just some climber.  Glad I never hacked it down.  I'll have to have a read up on kiwi.  Hope it is a fruiting one. :)
