How We Struck GOLD

In the late 1970's, New Zealand kiwifruit growers began experimenting with the natural development of a golden kiwifruit. Seeds were imported from China, where a female plant, chosen for its yellow flesh and excellent flavor, was crossed with a male plant, proven to produce large, succulent fruit.

In 1992, one offspring plant from this family was selected and nurtured, resulting in the golden-fleshed kiwifruit now known as ZESPRI™ Gold Kiwifruit.
