The performance of kiwifruit, primarily gold-fleshed cultivars, has been evaluated for many years in central Alabama, with the earliest plantings occurring at the Chilton Research and Extension Center, Clanton, AL in the mid-1990s.

The female cultivar ‘AU Golden Dragon’ blooms earlier than other cultivars evaluated and had good bloom overlap with the male cultivar Hortkiwi ‘Meteor’. The female cultivars ‘AU Golden Sunshine’ and ‘AU Gulf Coast Gold’ bloom approximately 2 weeks after ‘AU Golden Dragon’ and had good bloom overlap with the male ‘AU Golden Tiger’. The harvest period in central AL for each cultivar based on flesh color (hue
