Abstract
A new and distinct kiwi plant of the species Actinidia arguta (Sieb. & Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq. var. arguta is described. The variety results from a controlled pollination using a female A. arguta selection AA01—01 of unknown parentage and a male A. arguta selection AA04—01 of unknown parentage. Both named parents (AA01—01 and AA04—01) are unpatented. The new variety is distinguished by its green hairless, edible skin, small fruit size, ovoid shape and sweet aromatic taste.
