I really love kiwi fruit. (I really like kiwi birds and kiwi men, but those are other stories.) It is sweet and tart and refreshing and juicy and--well--just delicious.
Until I visited New Zealand, though, I never really thought about how kiwi are grown. To my surprise, a kiwi plantation very much resembles a vineyard.

Tony--I didn't think of that. Guess I'll have to go back!
I had no idea kiwis are grown like that; I guess I never really thought about it, but it make sense!
I've heard that some Italian vineyards have been transformed to kiwi fields, but I've never actually seen them. Now I know what to look for. Thanks.
I always thought they grew on big trees. Huh! Learned something new today, thanks!
Thanks, everyone, for your comments--isn't it cool when you learn something new that you never even wondered about before??
