Actinidia kolomikta, the kolomikta, [2] miyamatatabi, [3] super-hardy kiwi, [4] or variegated-leaf hardy kiwi, [5] is a species of flowering plant in the family Actinidiaceae, native to temperate mixed forests of the Russian Far East, Korea, Japan and China (Eastern Asiatic Region).
Silver vine can reach up to 5–6 metres (16–20 ft) high at maturity. It is a deciduous climber and tolerates temperatures down to −30 °C (−22 °F). [2] The petiole leaves are silver and white in color and 6–13 centimetres (2.4–5.1 in) long and 4–9 centimetres (1.6–3.5 in) wide.
Kiwifruit (often shortened to kiwi outside Australia and New Zealand), or Chinese gooseberry, is the edible berry of several species of woody vines in the genus Actinidia. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The most common cultivar group of kiwifruit ( Actinidia deliciosa 'Hayward') [ 3 ] is oval, about the size of a large hen's egg : 5–8 centimetres (2–3 inches ...
Kiwifruit is a cultivar group of A. deliciosa, and hardy kiwi is the species Actinidia arguta, which has small fruit weighing 10–15 g (0.35–0.53 oz), with green edible skins and green flesh; it is hardier than A. deliciosa. Some species are grown as ornamental plants, notably A. kolomikta.
The plants are usually small trees or shrubs, or sometimes vines (Actinidia).The alternate, simple, spiral leaves have serrated or entire margins. They lack stipules or are minutely stipulated.
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.
Actinidain is first produced in the kiwi when it is about half its size and then increases in both protease activity and enzyme production until the fruit is fully matured. [13] The enzyme is encoded by a large gene family and is expressed in most tissues of the kiwifruit plant, not just the fruit itself. [13]
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.
