August 23, 200619 yr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwifruit Actinidia deliciosa is native to southern China, where it is declared as the National fruit of China. Other species of Actinidia are also found in China and range east to Japan and north into southeastern Siberia. Cultivation spread from China in the early 20th century, when seeds were introduced to New Zealand by Isabel Fraser, the principal of Wanganui Girls' College, who had been visiting mission schools in China. Surprised me too. Weirdly this makes more sense than China's claim that they were the dudes that first invented golf. Spreading beauty with my katana.
August 23, 200619 yr Pfff. Everybody knows golf was invented by Canada, as were basketball, baseball, hockey and football. Heck, Canada even invented China and New Zealand and Isabel frasier. Ignorant fools. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
