Kiwifruit's morphology

woody vines in the genus Actinidia.[1][2] The most common cultivar group of kiwifruit (Actinidia
chinensis var. deliciosa 'Hayward')[3] is oval, about the size of a large hen's egg: 5–8 centimetres (2–3
inches) in length and 4.5–5.5 cm (1+3⁄4–2+1⁄4 in) in diameter. Kiwifruit has a thin, fuzzy, fibrous, tart
but edible, light brown skin and light green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black, edible seeds. The
