9 Where are Chinese gooseberries from?    New Zealand

Nup, wrong on that one, sorry.
Chinese Gooseberries originally came from China.  They were a very small,
hairy and somewhat tart fruit until the New Zealand orchardists developed
them into what they are today, and then marketed them as Kiwi Fruit, then
decided that Zespri was a more appealling name.  Go figure the last one!,
Bbut there is a history lesson for you in a hairy skin :-)

Maxine,
in a still wet summer in New Zealand.  December was the fifth worst in the
120 years they have been keeping records.  Oh for some sun!
