Kan Win Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from? *New Zealand History The kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) is a large, woody, deciduous vine native to the Yangtze Valley of China. Seeds from China were taken to New Zealand and planted in 1906. Plants developing from these seeds first fruited in 1910. Commercial planting began in New Zealand in about 1940 and by 1970 there were 900 acres. Commercial planting in California began in the late 1960s. From 50 acres in 1970, the industry in California has grown to more than 7,000 acres in 1992. Acreage in 1998 was reported as 5,200 by the California Kiwifruit Commission. In 1974 kiwifruit became the internationally accepted name, replacing Chinese gooseberry and kiwi -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And where are Cape Gooseberries from, and what are their names now ? Ans. you might catch it, if you where naughty last night and/or did not spell the answer correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
