-
A Chinese gooseberry vine fruit, having a hairy brown skin and dark green (or in the case of the gold kiwifruit, yellow) flesh with fine black seeds, almost always Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa.
The international threat isn't coming from New Zealand, whose growing season does not conflict with California's. New Zealand kiwifruit is marketed in the summer months; California's season is from November through May.
