In today's episode, John and Patrick explore the remarkable journey of the kiwifruit, tracing its origins from the misty mountains of central China, where it grew wild for centuries, to its introduction in New Zealand by pioneering botanists and missionaries. Discover how this once-unknown fruit, initially dubbed the Chinese gooseberry, transformed into a global icon synonymous with New Zealand's lush landscapes and agricultural prowess.
