Quite recently, fruits of Actinidia arguta, which is closely related to kiwifruit, have become commercially available (Williams et al, 2003). These fruits are sold under commercial names, such as Baby kiwi, Kiwi berry, or Grape kiwi, because they are grape-sized fruits with a completely hairless skin.
