ABSTRACT:
A new and distinct kiwifruit variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from a controlled pollination crossing the kiwifruit varieties known as ‘Hort16A’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,066) and an unreleased selection CK39_16 (not patented). The new variety is a male plant which flowers in a period well-synchronized for pollination of the female variety ‘Hort16A’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,066). The new variety is characterized by the timing of flowering, distinctive red/brown hairs evident on young shoots and the underside of young leaves. The new variety appears suitable for use as a pollinizer in commercial kiwifruit production and has been named ‘Bruce’.
