The outer skin of delicious kiwi fruit branches and fruits is covered with downy hairs (such as Qin Mei, Xu Xiang, Hayward, etc.), while the outer skin of Chinese kiwi fruit branches and fruits is relatively smooth (such as Hongyang, Huanghuangguo, etc.).

By the early 1970s, kiwi fruit cultivation was still limited to New Zealand, and the cultivation area was not large. Since then, the unique flavor of kiwi fruit has been recognized and welcomed by consumers, and kiwi fruit has developed rapidly around the world.
