Product Name: Hongyang Kiwifruit (Red Sun Kiwifruit)
Description:
Hongyang is the world’s first commercially cultivated red-fleshed kiwifruit variety and remains the most popular red-centered kiwifruit in the market today. Bred from wild germplasm in Sichuan’s Cangxi County through 20 years of selection, this variety was officially released in 1997 and has since become the benchmark for premium red-fleshed kiwifruit.
