Since the initial crop produced in 2014 -the state’s first-ever successful kiwifruit harvest- the expanding plot of golden kiwifruit on the Stephen F. Austin State University campus has produced more than 1,500 pounds of the small, tender-fleshed fruit.
While kiwifruit is eaten when tender, Creech explained they are harvested while still firm. To know when the crop is ready for harvest, the sugar content of the fruit is monitored.
