Available throughout the year, rich on vitamin c. Looks like Chikoo but inside it is quite different. Kiwijam is lecker.
Also known as the Chinese gooseberry,[1] the fruit was renamed for export marketing reasons in the 1950s; briefly to melonette, and then later by New Zealand exporters to kiwifruit. This name “kiwifruit” comes from the kiwi – a brown flightless bird and New Zealand’s national symbol, and also a colloquial name for the New Zealand people.
We planted a climber in our garden last year, no fruits yet. At present there is not much to see. shall send fotos when leaves appear.


-In Arunachal Pradesh, I enjoyed them a lot. They are cultivated in high altitude areas and sold at a cheaper rate…..@ Rs. 20/- to 50/- kg. But in S. Korea, they are available @ Rs. 300/- kg.


– Here are mine from California stores.


– .. But I cannot make out any difference between A. chinensis and A. strigosa which is cultivated in Nepal, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. Kindly enlighten us on this.


– I have not seen the Himalayan plant but seems it has smaller flowers ( ca 2 cm across) than A. chinensis (ca 4 cm across) and much longer hairs on the undersurface of leaves.


– I am sending a photo of the Kiwi plant from Srinagar, Kashmir.

Place : Srinagar, Kashmir
Habitat: Cultivated
Date   :  June 2009

– Did you see fruits on this tree? The leaves look different to me.


– I did not see the fruits.  I enquired with the hotel owner about the creeper.  He said it is Kiwi’s  and it’s not the fruiting season, hence no fruits on the creeper.

Climber seen in the garden during my visit in October, 2018.

There were many Kiwi fruit vines close by, so I’m not sure if this is the same.
