And now you’ve got me wondering what they were called before New Zealanders called them “Chinese gooseberries”—that is, what do people know them as in China?
All I’m finding is Actinidia chinensis, which isn’t what I’m looking for. Hmm, yes, I suppose there would be different words for them in different dialects…but what I mean is, like how we in the US may know, e.g., Chenopodium album as “lamb’s quarter” or “pigweed”…what do people in China think of kiwifruit/Chinese gooseberries as??
