     Kiwifruit / 中华猕猴桃

Taxonomy: Angiosperms / Eudicots / Asterids / Ericales / Actinidiaceae

Introduction

1. A. chinensis is a fruit tree and medicinal plant native to China.
2. It prefers slopes and likes also to grow in ravines, top heights of 200-230m.
3. It was first grown commercially in New Zealand,where it has been superseded by Actinidia deliciosa, or Kiwifruit.
4. It is a fruit tree and medicinal plant native to China. It is closely related to Actinidia deliciosa, the source of the common kiwifruit.
