‘Goldone’, a Yellow - fleshed Kiwifruit Cultivar with Large Fruit Size

In Korea, kiwifruit is grown within a limited region on the southern coast where the climateis warm. Since the yellow - fleshed kiwifruit variety, ‘Hort16A’, first became commerciallyavailable, we have focused on breeding additional yellow - fleshed kiwifruits. Here, wedescribe the cultivar ‘Goldone’, which originated from ‘Red Princess’ and is characterized byred coloration around the fruit core. Conventional field crosses were performed in 2003, andpermission for final release of ‘Goldone’ was obtained in 2011. This cultivar is very productive,with an average fruit weight of 129 g, which is 39% heavier than that of the cultivar ‘Hayward’. ‘Goldone’ is harvested in late October, approximately 165 - 170 days after anthesis. In general,‘Goldone’ has approximately eight flowers per fruiting shoot; these flowers must be thinnedbefore blooming for commercial production. ‘Goldone’ was registered at the Korean Seed &Variety Service in 2014 for plant variety protection rights (grant no. 4835).
