Developmental Differences and Implications for Small and Large ‘Zesy002’ Kiwifruit
New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.‘Zesy002’ (Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis, sold commercially as Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit) now dominates the New Zealand kiwifruit industry and the global market for yellow‐fleshed kiwifruit. It is an inherently larger‐fruited cultivar than the traditional green‐fleshed “Hayward” fruit, with an average fruit mass of ∼120 g compared to ∼100 g for ...
