Field Notes

Description:

Actinidia deliciosa, Fuzzy Kiwifruit is a fruiting vine native to southern China.The oblong fruits are up to 6.25 cm long. The russet-brown skin of the fruits is densely covered with short, stiff, brown hairs.
The flesh is firm until fully ripened; it is glistening, juicy and luscious. The color of the flesh is bright-green, or sometimes yellow, brownish or off-white, except for the white, succulent center from which radiate many fine, pale lines.
The flavor is subacid to quite acid; the flavor is suggested to be similar to that of the gooseberry or strawberry.
Greece comes 5th in the worldwide kiwifruit production. The pictured vine and fruits were spotted in Tsagarada village, Pelion mountain, Greece.
