Kiwi plant named ‘Hortgem Toru’

Abstract

A new and distinct kiwi plant of the species Actinidia arguta (Sieb. & Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq. var. arguta is described. The variety results from a controlled pollination using a female A. arguta selection AA01_01 of unknown parentage and a male A. arguta selection AA04_01 of unknown parentage. Both named parents (AA01_01 and AA04_01) are unpatented. The new variety is distinguished by its green hairless, edible skin, small fruit size, ovoid shape and sweet aromatic taste.

We claim:  
     
       1. A new and distinct kiwi plant of the species  A. arguta  substantially as described and illustrated, characterised by small ovoid fruit with green hairless edible skin and green flesh with a sweet aromatic flavour.
