The grafting of this fruit after growing for about a week becomes a seedling and can be cut. This method is one of the most common methods of planting kiwi seedlings in the world, especially in China. China is one of the largest exporters of transplanted seedlings of this fruit.
In Iran, in 1347 solar year, the first kiwi seedling was imported and planted from France in the village of Sar Faqih Abad, Nishtarud section of Tankabon Mazandaran city, due to the hard work of Dr. Mohammad Amin Albarzi and with the wish of cheapness and availability for the people of Iran. In Iran, this fruit is currently cultivated in the three provinces of Gilan, Mazandaran and Golestan on the edge of the Caspian Sea, and its cultivation area increases every year.
