Abstract
A new and distinct kiwi plant of the species Actinidia chinensis Planch. is described. The cultivar results from a controlled pollination using a male A. chinensis selection CK15 -- 01 of unknown parentage, and a female A. chinensis selection CK01 -- 01 -- 01 -- 01. Both named parents (CK15 -- 01 and CK01 -- 01 -- 01 -- 01) are unpatented cultivars. The new cultivar is distinguished by its short silky hair, protruding stylar end, golden flesh and sweet tropical taste.
