Kiwi fruit producing area

New Zealand is world-famous for kiwifruit, and they love the fruit so much that it is named after the national bird KiwiBird, or KiwiFruit, which is translated into Chinese as a kiwi fruit.

As early as the pre-Qin period, kiwifruit was recorded in the Book of songs: "Kui Chu (the ancient name of kiwifruit), Nuo its branches." When Li Shizhen described the shape and color of kiwifruit in the Compendium of Materia Medica, she said: "it is shaped like a pear, its color is like a peach, and macaques like to eat, so they have various names."

Is the largest distribution of kiwifruit plants in the country, there are 52 species of wild kiwifruit plants, most of the fruit can be eaten, and taste sweet and sour delicious. Among them, there is a kind of kiwifruit, the fruit is large and tastes good, the scientific name is "Chinese kiwifruit", which is the original variety of kiwifruit that we eat now.

Although there are many varieties of wild kiwifruit in China, most people are not aware of the existence of this delicious fruit. Until 1904, the fate of kiwifruit took place in a foreigner. Isabel, a New Zealand female teacher, went to China to visit her missionary sister. She ate the wild fruit in Hubei and brought the seeds back to New Zealand. She planted the seeds she brought back, and three of the seedlings grew up and blossomed smoothly. These three seedlings have turned the originally wild kiwifruit into a popular fruit all over the world-kiwifruit.
