Apparently, a Wanganui Schoolmistress, Mary Fraser bought some seeds back to NZ in 1906, and these were planted.
Fast forward to 1924 when Hayward Wright in 1924 introduced his improved cultivar which is the basis of most of today's industry.
Kiwifruit was first known as Chinese Gooseberry, but that name did not sit well in the US, so Kiwifruit was substituted. (But not trademarked!!) hence the modern trademarked name of Zespri.
More recently, a variety from India has been crossbred to produce the golden variety, which is a nicer fruit. (There may be a red variety in the pipeline?)
Italy is the major producer today of Kiwifruit, and Chile is another major producer.
