KIWIFRUIT, Actinidia deliciosa

Kiwifruits grow on a vigorous and long lived deciduous vine.  Kiwifruit is a great tasting, highly nutritious treat. To eat, cut the fruit in half, then scoop the delicious flesh right out of the skin.  They can be added to fruit salads and desserts as well as to savoury dishes, they go particularly well with avocado's, fish, chicken and prawns.  They do not however combine well with yogurt as there is an enzyme in it that they react to.

Kiwifruit Seedling

Seed selected from a very sweet yellow fruited variety.
