Authors: B.C. Strik and K.E. Hummer
Abstract:
‘Ananasnaya’ is the most widely grown
cultivar of hardy kiwifruit [Actinidia arguta
(Siebold & Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq] in the
world.
Hardy kiwifruit, Actinidia Lindl.
Section Leiocarpae family Actinidiaceae
[including Actinidia arguta, A. kolomikta, and
A. polygama (Siebold & Zucc.) Maxim.)] are
vining, cold hardy, polygamodioecious (sometimes
having unisexual and bisexual flowers,
but tending to have separate male and female
plants) plants native to China, Russia and Japan
(8). Hardy kiwifruit may also be known
or marketed under alternate names including
“baby kiwifruit”, “grape kiwi”, “wee-kee”,
and “cocktail kiwi”. In 2002, an estimated 42
ha (100 acres) of commercial ‘Ananasnaya’
were planted in Oregon (22). Williams et al.
(26) estimated that about 100 ha of ‘Ananasnaya’
were grown commercially worldwide, in
the United States (Oregon, Pennsylvania, New
York, Washington), New Zealand, Canada
(British Columbia and Ontario), Chile, Italy,
France, Germany, and The Netherlands.
