Origins: Kiwi fruit (or just kiwi) are sweet green-fleshed fruits which are rich in vitamin C, potassium, vitamin E, folic acid, zinc, and fiber. They can be eaten either with their skins still on or peeled. While they are native to China, they are commercially grown in a number of countries, including Italy, New Zealand, Chile, Japan, Greece, France, and the U.S.
These days China doesn't even rank in the list of leading kiwi-producing countries, so on that basis alone the alarming warning quoted above should be looked at askance. Chances are the kiwi fruit that found its way into your grocery store came from anywhere but China (e.g., Italy, New Zealand, Chile, France, Greece, Spain, or the United States).
Growth regulators are used on kiwis to help them become larger and more juicy. Forchlorfenuron, a plant growth regulator that in 2004 was approved for use on kiwi fruit and grapes in the U.S., is typically applied to the fruit while still on the tree and hasbeen shown to increase average kiwi weights by up to 46 percent. Said application takes place only once.
Despite the e-mail's breathless claims, we were unable to locate instances of the growth regulators used on kiwi fruit having "bad effect to your nervous system, birth defects, retard learning ability to children."
It's possible this warning resulted from a confluence of two factors: the knowledge that forchlorfenuron is routinely used on kiwi fruit to help them grow, and news stories out of China documenting the misuse of that chemical by some of that country's farmers on another crop.

Have you ever considered growing your own kiwifruit? There are two main types of kiwi plants that can be grown in the home garden: one that is better suited for colder regions and the other for warmer, frost-free areas. Learn how to plant, grow, and harvest kiwis in your garden!
Aside from the difference in their fruits, the plants also differ in terms of hardiness. As its name suggests, the hardy kiwi does best in colder areas (USDA Hardiness Zones 4 to 7) and is even capable of surviving subzero temperatures, while the kiwifruit should be grown in regions where frost is infrequent (Zones 8 to 9). That being said, the fruit and flowers of both types are very susceptible to spring and fall frosts, so this plant is best grown in areas that have a frost-free growing season of at least 200 days.
Raw kiwifruit is rich in a protein-dissolving enzyme called actinidain. This makes the kiwi unsuitable for use in dishes that contain milk products or gelatin. If these dishes are not served immediately, the enzyme starts to digest the proteins in the dishes destroying the texture. In gelatin-based dishes, the enzyme can prevent the liquid from solidifying.
Kiwi Vines are very aggressive growers. This article states they don't grow quickly. Vines will grow several inches a day at each growing tip. It takes very aggressive pruning to control their size. Kiwi roots are similar to hop roots in that they get very fat and long very quickly. I would say you need to prune them at least monthly after flowering. The cold hardy kind take about 6 years to fruit. They are EXTREMELY sensitive to frost, despite them being called "arctic kiwi"
Press the kiwi gently with your thumb. If it yields to the slight pressure, the fruit is ripe. If it doesn't and still feels hard, the fruit is not ready to eat. (Underripe kiwis usually have a hard core and a slight astringent taste.) If it's too soft, the fruit is overripe and will be difficult to slice. A better option for these softer kiwis would be to blend them into a shake, smoothie, or refreshing summer sorbet.
Once ripe, however, it's best to store kiwi far from other fruits, as it's very sensitive to ethylene gas and tends to over-ripen, even in the refrigerator. If stored properly, ripe kiwis can keep for about one week.
A tablespoon is optional, depending on how you plan to cut up your kiwi. But since every kitchen is more than likely to have flatware, keep one on hand in case you decide to use one of the slice and scoop methods below.
Then with a spoon in your dominant hand and the kiwi cupped in the palm of your non-dominant hand, slide the spoon between the flesh and the skin and slowly work your way around the kiwi to separate the skin. If the skin on the other end is still attached, turn the kiwi around and repeat until the skin is completely removed.
The advantage of keeping the skin on a kiwi is that it won't release too much juice, which makes for better eating and easier cleanup. A presentable way to do this is by cutting the kiwi into tiny watermelon-like wedges. Start by cutting the ends off the kiwi, and then continue slicing the fruit in the same direction, creating round coins with the skin still on. Then cut each coin in half. This leaves you with a nice batch of semi-circle slices that can be eaten in a single bite (with or without the skin).
Kiwi Jenny (Actinidia deliciosa) - Kiwis can be grown in the UK in sheltered, sunny locations where sweet grapes grow successfully. This is a self-fertile variety that produces both male and female creamy-white flowers, so it does not need a pollinating partner to produce delicious, greenish-brown kiwi fruit - perfect if there is only enough space for one fruiting plant. A very hardy twining climber excellent for covering walls and tree stumps as well as their luscious fruits. A very nice attractive outdoor climbing plant.
Arrived in excellent condition and now looking forward seeing it grow and produce lots of fruit. The is the latest order of the many good plants and trees that I have purchased from Blackmoor over the past 2 years.
Delighted with my kiwi. Having already bought one for my friends birthday I thought I'd try one. As always, excellent service from ordering through to arrival of goods ( just 4 days from ordering). Looking forward to sampling fruit.
Lovely 6ft tall kiwi for a great £18 - had an interesting journey home with this with all our holiday gear in the car as well along with the two blueberry bushes we bought - 3yr old bushes which are in great condition. Thanks
You offered us your kiwi plants, and we ordered two.They are beautifully packed, and are tall, leafy and gorgeous plants. We never expected such generosity (£10 each) and the packaging is so good that my three grandchildren turned it into a Christopher Columbus boat exploring the seas to America while my daughter and I dug a deep hole for the huge root pots. There are even flower buds on these mature plants. This is a Greenwich allotment.The second plant is planned for my own allotment (Battle, Sussex) where I hope it will scramble through an overgrown hedge and produce lots of fruit.Thank you.
The Tomuri kiwi (Actinidia chinensis 'Tomura') is a fuzzy male kiwi. It does not produce fruit but is needed to pollinate fuzzy female kiwi. It is a nice ornamental vine. One male kiwi will pollinate four to eight female kiwi up to 30' away. The 'Tomura' will pollinate the 'Abbott', 'Blake', 'Bruno', 'Hayward' and 'Vincent'.
Taste the summer sunshine in our Strawberry Kiwi fruit tea. Juicy strawberries and sour-sweet kiwis are rounded with tangy hibiscus and rosehips. This bright red infusion is excellent iced on a hot day. Stir in a bit of your favorite sweetener to make the fruity flavors pop.
