| | Kiwifruit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The seeds were planted in 1906 by a Wanganui nurseryman, Alexander Allison, with the vines first fruiting in 1910. | | | The Kiwifruit or Chinese Gooseberry is the edible fruit of a Cultivar Group of the woody vine Actinidia deliciosa and hybrids between this and other species in the genus Actinidia. | | | A new Cultivar Group of Actinidia chinensis known as Golden Kiwifruit or "Chinabelle", with yellow flesh and sweeter, less acidic flavour resembling a tropical fruit salad, was produced by New Zealand horticulturists and is being marketed worldwide in increasing volumes. |

| | Kiwi fruit requires a mild climate and should grow in most parts of central and southern Australia. | | | The vines grow prolifically, and with this growth together with the weight of the fruit, a strong trellis is essential. | | | If the crop is too heavy, hand-thinning may be necessary to ensure good fruit size. |

| | Size of a fruit depends, not only on good growing conditions and pruning, but also on the number of seeds that have been fertilized. | | | POLLINATION: Since kiwi fruit is a dioecious plant, that is, it produces male and female flowers on separate vines, both a male and female vine are required for fruit production. | | | The fruits are about the size of a small plum. |

| | As a result of poor survival and fruiting, the vines were removed in the fall of 1991. | | | Excessive vine growth is removed during the growing season to keep the vines open and avoid shading of the fruiting wood. | | | Large, thick leaves combined with a fruit crop that may exceed 14,000 lb per acre contribute to a very heavy trellis load. |

| | Today, kiwi fruit is also a commercial crop in California. | | | (The fruit keeps well for up to 10 months in cold storage, allowing it to be brought to market for several months after it is harvested.) Both New Zealand and California produce one principal variety, the Hayward. | | | When you cut (or bite) through its thin brown skin, which is covered with a downy fuzz, you reach velvety bright green flesh sprinkled with a ring of tiny, edible black seeds. |

| | Kiwi eggs are proportionately larger compared to the size of the adult female than the eggs of any other bird. | | | Despite its awkward appearance, a kiwi can actually outrun a human and have managed to survive because of their alertness and their sharp, three-toed feet, which enable them to kick and slash an enemy. | | | Using its excellent sense of smell and flexible bill, the kiwi feeds on worms, insects and grubs, supplemented by leaves, berries and seeds. |
