Yup, and back further in time Kiwifruit is the name for a particular breed (developed in NZ I assume) of Chinese gooseberries. They will probably call the next one Zespri XP or Zespri 2010 or something of that nature ;-)
Guy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Conor Boyd Yeah, My understanding is that Zespri is the "brandname" (or maybe even the varietal name?) of the newer (and locally bred) golden kiwifruit. I think Zespri as a name was dreamed up so that the marketers would have a lot more control over the brand internationally than they did with the "standard" kiwifruit. Would be more identifiable with NZ, less chance of consumers getting confused with "inferior" overseas-produced kiwifruit, etc. Well, that's my vague understanding anyways. Cheers, C.
