teddy Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 "The islands' name is likely derived from the Latin term Insula Canaria, meaning Island of the Dogs, a name applied originally only to the island of Gran Canaria. It is thought that the dense population of an endemic breed of large and fierce dogs, like the Presa Canario, was the characteristic that most struck the few ancient Romans who established contact with the islands by the sea."

Julian2 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Kiwi fruit Actinidia deliciosa is native to southern China, where it is declared as the "National Fruit" of the People's Republic of China.[2] Other species of Actinidia are also found in China and range east to Japan and north into southeastern Siberia. Cultivation spread from China in the early 20th century, when seeds were introduced to New Zealand by Isabel Fraser, the principal of Wanganui Girls' College, who had been visiting mission schools in China. The seeds were planted in 1906 by a Wanganui nurseryman, Alexander Allison, with the vines first fruiting in 1910 (Wiki) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
