Research History

The kiwifruit is native to China, and was originally a wild fruit until the early 1900s, when a New Zealand schoolteacher brought it back to her home country from the Wudu River in Yiling District of Yichang City, Hubei Province, where it was developed into what is known as the kiwi fruit. The development process from wild to cultivation is quite legendary.

The kiwifruit, commonly known as Yangtao, Maotao, Shan Yangtao, Mao Pear Peach, etc., is an ancient wild vine fruit tree native to China. Jiaokeng Village in Huangyan District, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, still preserves kiwifruit plants that were transplanted from the mountains and planted in the fields more than 200 years ago.

There are many different kinds of plants called kiwifruit throughout China, and according to botanists' surveys, there are more than 52 species of the genus kiwifruit distributed throughout the country, many of which are edible. The kiwifruit on the fruit market today refers mainly to the Chinese kiwifruit, as well as the delicious kiwifruit, which was identified as a new species by one of its variants in 1984.

Their wild species are widely distributed, with Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan in the north, Liangguang and Fujian in the south, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan in the southwest, as well as the provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin, with the Yiling district of Wuduhe having the most in particular.
