Actinidia rufa is a species of flowering plant in the Chinese gooseberry family Actinidiaceae, native to Taiwan, some of the southwestern South Korean islands, the Ryukyu Islands, and southern and south-central Japan.[1] A large climbing shrub, it is found in mountain forests at elevations from 1,000 to 2,000 m (3,300 to 6,600 ft).[2] As a crop wild relative of kiwifruit, it is being studied for its resistance to frost and to bacterial canker of kiwifruit.[3]
