Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa)

Photographed the Kiwifruit flowers in the 360 Kiwi Vineyards located in Te Puke Western Bay of Plenty in Bay of Plenty in New Zealand

 

Kiwifruit is native to central and eastern China. The first recorded description of the kiwifruit dates to the 12th century

during the Song dynasty.

 

In the early 20th century, cultivation of

kiwifruit spread from China to New Zealand, where the first commercial plantings occurred.

 

The fruit became popular with British and American servicemen stationed in New Zealand during World War II, and later became commonly exported, first to Great

Britain and then to California in the 1960s
