Abstract

A new female tetraploid kiwifruit plant, Actinidia chinensis, named ‘Soreli’. The new variety results from a controlled cross made using tetraploid A. chinensis ‘A137’ as seed-parent and A. chinensis ‘A134.41’ as pollen donor. ‘Soreli’ bears single flowers; the fruit is large (118 g on average), oblong, circular in cross section with a reddish brown skin and a brilliant yellow flesh; core is small. Fruit taste sweet, acidity is low. Fruit are harvested earlier than both ‘Jintao’ and ‘Hayward’. Bud break occurs 6 and 8 days before ‘Jintao’ and ‘Hayward’ respectively and flowering time occurs 2 and 9 days before ‘Jintao’ and ‘Hayward’ respectively in Udine (46° 02′ N, 13° 13′ E; 88 m asl) where the comparative observations were carried out. Fruit has medium storage life (up to 3-4 months).
