How does kiwifruit represent NZ culture?

The name is taken from the kiwi birds native to New Zealand, one of the places where kiwifruit are grown. The name also suggests an appearance similar to those birds. The other name for the brown, furry, egg-shaped fruit is "Chinese gooseberry". This was not as popular in marketing but does correctly identify China as another of the Southeast Asia locations where they are grown.

Where was kiwifruit first made?

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.

Does a kiwifruit grow on a tree?

From a seedling, it will take seven years before the vines grow large enough to flower and fruit.

Fruit is borne on one-year-old and older canes annually and three year old canes are then pruned out.

How does kiwifruit disperse?

Kiwifruit disperses through both natural means, such as being eaten by animals that then excrete the seeds elsewhere, and through human intervention, such as being transported for cultivation in different regions. The seeds within the fruit are designed to pass through the digestive system of animals unharmed, allowing for successful dispersal. Additionally, kiwifruit plants can also propagate through vegetative means, such as through stem cuttings or grafting.
