Storage & Handling
Donghong-specific evidence replaces the unsupported Hayward-style near-freezing, multi-month claim.
Storage Notes: The 2025 study observed more chilling disorders at 0.5°C, more decay at 3°C, and intermediate disorder incidence at 1-2°C. Its authors advise avoiding temperatures below 0.5°C and RH below approximately 80% in long-term storage; these cautions do not define an optimum or guaranteed duration.

Applies to: Donghong kiwifruit in the cited temperature and humidity experiments.
Confirm harvest maturity, packaging and supplier protocol before adopting a commercial storage regime.
