Temperate Fruit Discussion / Bloom times of cultivars of Actinidia chinensis (kiwifruit)
« on: November 08, 2024, 04:28:13 PM »
I thought I would collect the bloom time for cultivars of Actinidia chinensis in one place, since it's hard to find such data online. This data is important for growers who need to select the right male for their chosen female. If people have personal experience, please PM any data and I'll update it to this post. The standard for calibration is HAYWARD.
Belen (male): 1 month and 1 week earlier
Soreli: 1 month earlier
Zespri Gold / Hort16a: 4 weeks earlier
Adonis (male): 3 weeks earlier
Oriental Red / Donghong: 15 days earlier
Jinyan (eriantha hybrid): 10 days earlier
Jintao: 1 week earlier
Tsecheledis: 1 week earlier
Chieftain (male): 1 week earlier but long lasting
P1 (male): 1 week earlier but long lasting
