Actinidia melanandra, known as purple kiwi or red kiwi is a fruiting plant in the genus Actinidia, which contains three commercially grown species of kiwifruit. The plant is native to parts of Hubei, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces of China.[1] The fruit has a fuzzy purple skin with reddish flesh.[2] Although the fruit is edible,[3] is not commercially cultivated, however it is occasionally sold as a landscape plant under the erroneous name Actinidia melandra.
