I need to know if it says kiwifruit or kiwi fruit. Or both.

Kiwifruit
Actinidia deliciosa

On NZ min of Agg sites (I just checked) but it appears both are used

Thanks Bob. I've got an entry on kiwifruit in PR and am not sure what the official spelling should be. The Concise Oxford Dictionary says kiwi fruit, but I think kiwifruit is more common in NZ and that is my preference for the entry.
