What is Chinese gooseberry?
"Chinese gooseberry" is a lesser -known name for Kiwifruit, a popular subtropical fruit that has become well known worldwide in the 1950s, when it began to export from New Zealand on a large scale. This fruit has a characteristic cake, acidic taste and flesh green meat. Fruits are also sometimes called kiwi fruit or simply kiwis. Whatever consumers call it, it is used in a wide range of meals and is also consumed from hands. Many grocery stores carry kiwis in the season and can also be grown at home in a slight climate. At the beginning of the 20th century, several plants were imported to New Zealand, where they found a home in some private gardens. The Chinese gooseberry has very decorative leaves and attractive white flowers, so many gardeners grew up as an end vine and a fruit producing plant. In 1924, a robust, large cultivar known as a senior, was developed and commercial production began seriously.
Starting from the 50th of the 20th century. The fruit began to export to different countries around the world, including the United States. New Zealand growers have changed the name of the fruit to "Melonette" because of concerns about the hostility of the Cold War between the United States and China, which could attract "Chinese" fruit to the US market. American importers, however, did not like this name, led by New Zealand growers to propose an alternative name Kiwifruit that quickly captured.all over the world are grown several varieties of Chinese gooseberries, including the golden version with a sweet, sunny body and cold versions designed for colder climate. The fruit has a high content of vitamin C and fiber and are made to jam, add to fruit salads and eat straight. Some consumers enjoy fuzzy brown skin while they prefer to choose meat. Kiwis also contains an enzyme that some people are allergic, leading to coloring, sometimes unpleasant feeling around the lips and mouth. In extreme cases, allergies may bemore serious and requires medical care. People who are allergic to papaje and pineapple should probably also avoid kiwi.
Most fruit cultivars are resistant over the USDA zone eight when grown in mild weather with cold winters and mild years. Some cultivars were specially kept for colder weather and are often available in garden shops in these regions. Because the plant is a vine, a robust grille should be planted and approximately 20 feet (6 meters) should be left between plants. If the fruit is required, at least one male plant should be planted for every nine female plants. Kiwi prefers well -exhausted soil in full sun exposure and should be cut every year to stimulate a healthy fruit producing grapevine. This will take two to four years in the vines after the production of fruit after planting.
