Actinidia chinensis (Chinese Kiwi, Chinese Gooseberry, Kiwi-Berry, Yang-Tao)

Actinidia chinensis has a smooth, bronze skin, with a beak shape at the stem attachment. Flesh colour varies from bright green to a clear, intense yellow. This species is sweeter and more aromatic in flavour compared to A. deliciosa, similar to some subtropical fruits. In its native habitat Actinidia chinensis grows in thickets, thick (oak) forests (e.g. Quercus aquifolioides, Quercus oxyodon, Quercus lamellosa), and light secondary forests and bushland. A. chinensis prefers slopes and likes to grow in ravines, top heights of 200–230 m (660–750 ft), relative to the local microclimate.
