hardy kiwi
Grape-sized fuzzy fruit
A hardy kiwi is a variety of kiwifruit that tolerates cold climates where standard kiwis won't survive.
The fruit is smaller than grocery-store kiwis, typically grape-sized, with smooth edible skin rather than fuzzy.
Also called kiwi berry or arctic kiwi: The hardy kiwis on our backyard vine ripened in late September.
