The male plants have flowers that produce pollen, the females receive the pollen to fertilise their ovules and grow fruit; most kiwifruit requires a male plant to pollinate the female plant. For a good yield of fruit, one male vine for every three to eight female vines is considered adequate. [ 1 ]
Actinidia arguta, the hardy kiwi or kiwiberry [1], is a perennial vine native to Japan, Korea, Northern China, and the Russian Far East. It produces a small kiwifruit without the hair-like fiber covering the outside, unlike most other species of the genus.
Kiwi eggs can weigh up to one-quarter the weight of the female. Usually, only one egg is laid per season. The kiwi lays one of the largest eggs in proportion to its size of any bird in the world, [34] [a] so even though the kiwi is about the size of a domestic chicken, it is able to lay eggs that are about six times the size of a chicken's egg ...
Actinidia deliciosa is a vigorous, woody, twining vine or climbing shrub reaching 9 metres (30 ft). [1]The black-lyre leafroller moth ("Cnephasia" jactatana) is one of the few commercially significant pests of this plant.

The USDA Plants Database, a resource considered authoritative, still places the Actinidaceae within the Theales, an order which has been shown not to be monophyletic. [4] Placement of the Actinidiaceae within the Ericales has been strongly supported recently by genetic evidence, and contrary to previous thought, it is not a basal member of the ...
Actinidia chinensis, known commercially as the golden kiwifruit, is a fruiting vine native to China. It is one of some 40 related species of the genus Actinidia , and closely related to Actinidia deliciosa , [ 2 ] which is the source of the most common commercial kiwifruit .
Important structures in plant development are buds, shoots, roots, leaves, and flowers; plants produce these tissues and structures throughout their life from meristems [1] located at the tips of organs, or between mature tissues. Thus, a living plant always has embryonic tissues.
