Introduction of kiwifruit:

The Chinese kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch.), is a perennial woody plant of the genus kiwifruit in the family Kiwifoliaceae, the young branchlets with white tomentum; leaves papery, oblong-ovate; cymes with small, ovate floral segments; fruit yellowish-brown, globose or obovate; flowering period April-May; fruiting period August-October.

The kiwifruit was first named by Li Shizhen: "Its shape is like a pear, its color is like a peach, and the macaque monkey likes to eat it, so it has all the names." It is also known as "Chinese kiwifruit" because it was introduced from China, so it is collectively known as "Chinese kiwifruit". The Chinese kiwifruit is native to China, and is now distributed in the provinces and regions of the Yangtze River Basin in China.

The Chinese kiwifruit is light-loving but afraid of exposure to the sun, preferring a warm and humid environment, intolerant of waterlogging, mostly in leeward and sunny environments, usually found in tall grass thickets, shrub forests or secondary forests, and preferring deep, humus-rich, well-drained soils. Propagation of Chinese kiwifruit includes grafting, cuttings, pressing and sowing.
