Abstract

A new, distinct, and stable Actinidia deliciosa variety of plant is disclosed. The plant variety results from the selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the kiwifruit selections known as T99.40-02-10c (formerly referenced as 40-02-10c.99, unpatented) and T92.40-08-14e (formerly referenced as 40-80-14e.92, unpatented). The variety of plant is characterized by a medium time of harvest, a medium time of peak flowering (i.e., 70% flower burst), prolific flower production, and fruit that is high in weight and has a sweet, tropical flavor. The new Actinidia deliciosa variety of plant has been named ‘ZES007’.
