Until relatively recently the fruit was called a Chinese gooseberry but the New Zealand authorities managed to get the name changed officially to Kiwi Fruit without apparently a stern challenge from the EU commission on behalf of Italy!
Kiwi fruit grow on vine-like plants. If they bump together in the wind they will bruise and become worthless. Therefore growers take great pains to build wind shields to protect the fruit.
