Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia deliciosa<\/em>)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Kiwi fruit grows on a vigorous, woody, twining vine or climbing shrub reaching 30 feet. Its\u00a0alternate,<\/em>\u00a0deciduous<\/em>\u00a0leaves are\u00a0oval<\/em>\u00a0to nearly circular, three to five inches long, with long\u00a0petioles<\/em>. Young leaves and shoots are coated with red hairs. Mature leaves are dark-green and hairless on the upper surface, with prominent, light-colored veins below. The fragrant flowers have five to six\u00a0petals<\/em>, white at first, changing to buff-yellow. The oval fruit, about the size of a large hen’s egg, has russet-brown skin densely covered with short, stiff brown hairs. The fruit has a soft texture, green flesh, edible black seeds and a unique flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
