Abstract: A new and distinct kiwifruit variety is disclosed. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the kiwifiuit selections known as CK5 1_06 (not patented) and CK51_11 (not patented). The fruit of the plant of this new kiwifruit variety is characterized by its internal red color and early harvest maturity. The new kiwifruit variety has been named ‘Hort22D’.
Abstract: A new and distinct kiwifruit variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from a controlled pollination crossing the kiwifruit varieties known as ‘Hort16A’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,066) and an unreleased selection CK39_16 (not patented). The new variety is a male plant which flowers in a period well-synchronized for pollination of the female variety ‘Hort16A’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,066). The new variety is characterized by the timing of flowering, distinctive red/brown hairs evident on young shoots and the underside of young leaves. The new variety appears suitable for use as a pollinizer in commercial kiwifruit production and has been named ‘Bruce’.
