Abstract: “Texuan-815” was a kiwifruit new strain which belongs to Actinidia chinensis bred by Anhui Agricultural University. To ascertain its biological characteristics the phenological period, growth and fruiting habit and economical character were observed and recorded, and the ratio of ripen fruit, lost weight, whole fruit, and the change of soluble solid content, soluble sugar, titratable acid, vitamin C in post-harvest fruit of “Texuan-815” were investigated under storage at room temperature by contrast with Actinidia deliciosa cv Hayward. The result indicated that the phenological period of “Texuan-815” were 3-6 days earlier than that of Hayward from budding to flowering phenology. The short fruiting shoot accounted for 50%, fruit mean weight was 133 grams, fruit growth period was about 180 days, and fruitful yield was 42000 kilograms per hectare in “Texuan-815”. The new strain had green-yellow pulp, low acidity, and good flavor. The post-harvest fruit of “Texuan-815” ripened slower in prophase and faster after 30 days, and had lower weight loss in ten days and higher whole fruit ratio after 45 days under storage at room temperature. It was proved that the economical character of the new strain “Texuan-815” were superior to that of Hayward and had nice future in coming kiwifruit production.
