	Actinidia
		Actinidias climb by twining; most species are quite vigorous and capable of growing to a large size.
		This cultivar from Japan is apparently a hybrid of Actinidia arguta.
		Actinidia arguta pollinators should be suitable for use as pollinators for this species.

	Growing Kiwis in your Home Garden
		Kiwi vines (Actinidia species) are native to southwestern China.
		Actinidia deliciosa is the variety of kiwi which is usually grown commercially.
		Actinidia arguta and Actinidia kolomikta are cold hardy kiwi which can survive temperatures of -25 degrees F. The fruit size is considerably smaller than that of A. deliciosa and is about the size of a large cherry.

	Kiwi Fruit
		The most common type of kiwifruit, Actinidia deliciosa, is about the size of a hen's egg (about 6 cm long and 4.5 to 5.5 cm around), and is often not perfectly round.
		Actinidia arguta, kokuwa, tara vine, or hardy kiwi; smaller (10-15 grams) and with green edible skins and green flesh; hardier than A.
		The fruit of these varieties are practically indistinguishable and match the description of a standard kiwifruit given at the head of this article.

	How to grow Kiwi fruit: Actinidia; Kiwi vine, Chinese gooseberry
		It is best to sow Actinidia at a depth of 1/4 cm, either singular or with a spacing of 60 to 75 cm in the spring or autumn.
		Actinidia likes both sun and shade, but for best results should be grown in full sunlight; to produce vibrant colours.
		Actinidia requires between 60 days and 90 days to germinate, if starting seeds off inside it is best to do so in October or November then transplant them in the early spring, whilst there is still a chance of a light frost.

	New Temperate Fruits: Actinidia chinensis and Actinidia deliciosa
		The kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa [A. Chev.] C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson, Actinidiaceae) is one of the very few temperate fruit crops to have been domesticated this century.
		Botanically, the fruits of the various Actinidia species are all defined as berries in that they are fleshy, they have many seed embedded in the flesh, and they do not split open at maturity.
		Almost all the kiwifruit cultivars grown in commercial orchards outside of China are descended from two female plants and one male plant, themselves derived from a single introduction of seed to New Zealand in 1904 (Ferguson and Bollard 1990).

	Clematis - vines in garden > other vines > <i>Actinidia</i>
		Nowadays Actinidia deliciosa is widely cultivated for its edible fruit in warm temperate zones of Italy, Spain, Greece, France, New Zealand, the USA, Japan Israel and Chile.
		Unfortunately actinidia flowers are relatively unattractive for insects, so they have to be in profusion to ensure good pollination.
		As actinidias are shallow rooted plants, you should avoid loosening the soil lest you damage the roots.

		Other species of Actinidia are also found in China and range east to Japan, north into southeastern Siberia, and across the Bering Strait to Alaska.
		A new Cultivar Group of Actinidia chinensis known as Golden Kiwifruit, with yellow flesh and sweet flavour resembling a tropical sunburn, was produced by New Zealand horticulturists.

	Kiwifruit vitamin C content - species and cultivars
		Actinidia fruit - kiwifruit to most of us - in general are very high in vitamin C. Actinidia deliciosa, the common green kiwifruit, is the most important vitamin C source on the market at the moment.
		Actinidia kolomikta has quite extraordinary amounts of vitamin C, but it doesn't seem to be as suitable a commercial crop.
		Actinidia arguta are the only other commercially available kiwifruit at this time, and these small, smooth skinned, grape-sized fruit are usually sold as 'baby kiwifruit' or 'grape kiwifruit'.

	MOLECULAR APPROACHES TO SYSTEMATICS OF ACTINIDIA
		Taxonomic relationships among some twenty Actinidia were analyzed using isozyme polymorphism (82 alleles at 15 loci) and restriction fragment length polymorphism of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) (146 restriction fragments in four PCR-amplified cpDNA regions (rbcL and psbA genes and two spacers flanking the trnL gene).
		Both alleles and restriction fragments were coded for presence or absence and the sets of data were explored by UPGMA analysis based on distance values between pairs of species.
		Since chloroplast DNA is paternally inherited in Actinidia chinensis must be the paternal, if not the only, progenitor of A.

		Kiwifruit only came under cultivation in the 20th Century.
		Actinidia chinensis was once mainly known as Chinese Gooseberry but through marketing by New Zealand fruit growers, it is now known as Kiwifruit which is actually quite a good name because its furry, round shape is reminiscent of the appearance of a Kiwi.
		The name change also reflects its history because it is indigenous to southeastern China but it was the New Zealanders that developed cultivars and marketed it.
