Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa, also known as Actinidia deliciosa, green kiwifruit or the fuzzy kiwifruit, is a fruiting vine native to central Southern China, growing naturally at altitudes between 800 and 1,400 metres (2,600 and 4,600 ft). The vine was the first commercially available cultivated variety of kiwifruit, and is the source of many of the green varieties of kiwifruit, including the most popular cultivar globally, Hayward, as well as the Chinese cultivars Qinmei, Guichang and Miliang No. 1.
