Abstract

A new and distinct kiwi (Actinidia chinensis Planchon) plant named ‘RED GOAL’, particularly characterized by distinctive size of fruit, late time of maturity for harvesting, and long cold storage life. Other desirable characteristics include fruits with red pulp and green/brown, almost hairless skin.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Actinidia chinensis Planchon plant.
Variety denomination: ‘RED GOAL’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The disclosure provides a new and distinct cultivar of kiwi plant, botanically known as Actinidia chinensis Planchon, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘RED GOAL’.
The new cultivar is a product of accidental discovery in Italy under the direction of Giampaolo DAL PANE, an Italian citizen. Several seeds of different and unknown origins were planted. The new variety was discovered in Italy in 2016; it is not the result of any known crossing.
Fruit of the new variety was first evaluated in year 2016 with favorable results. After the first evaluation, semi-hardwood cuttings were made of ‘RED GOAL’ and were grafted onto ‘Hayward’ and ‘Tomuri’ (selection 258), as rootstocks. Evaluation, asexual propagation, and grafting all first took place at the nursery in Santa Cristina e Bissone (Pavia), Italy. Subsequent evaluations of the variety through asexual propagation have shown the characteristics to be true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘RED GOAL’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment, such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits of ‘RED GOAL’ have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘RED GOAL’. These characteristics, in combination, distinguish ‘RED GOAL’ as a new and distinct Actinidia chinensis Planchon plant with respect to other red pulp Actinidia:
    • 1. Distinctive size of fruit;
    • 2. Late time of maturity for harvesting; and
    • 3. Long cold storage life.
COMPARISON TO RED PULP ACTINIDIA
Plants of the new cultivar ‘RED GOAL’ are similar to plants of the seed, Actinidia chinensis Planchon ‘Hong-Yang’ (not patented; however, see U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/645,130 (Pub. No.: US 2008/155721 P1)) and ‘Dong Yang’ (not patented) in most horticultural characteristics. However, plants of the new cultivar ‘RED GOAL’ produce fruit several weeks (roughly three weeks) later than ‘Hong-Yang’ and ‘Dong-Hong’. Average fruit size of ‘RED GOAL’ is about 100 grams compared to other red pulp Actinidia chinensis Planchon (e.g. ‘Hong-Yang’ and ‘Dong-Hong’) which average fruit weight ranges from about 75 to 80 g. The cold storage life of ‘RED GOAL’ is about 5 months, whereas for ‘Hong-Yang’ and ‘Dong-Hong’ is about 3 months.
COMMERCIAL COMPARISON
‘RED GOAL’ has fruits with red pulp and green/brown almost hairless skin. On the other hand, ‘Hayward’ has green pulp and very hairy brown skin.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying (drawings) illustrate the overall appearance of the new Actinidia chinensis Planchon ‘RED GOAL’ plant showing the colors, as true as is reasonably possible with digital reproduction. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description, which accurately describe the color of ‘RED GOAL’. All photographs are taken of plants that are approximately 3 years old. The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance the colors are as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
