This type of fruiting cane produces a unique golden-hued berry, distinct from the more common red varieties. The name references its propensity for bearing fruit in the autumn months, offering a late-season harvest when other berry plants have ceased production. These canes are prized for their relatively easy cultivation and disease resistance.
Cultivating these plants offers several advantages, including extending the fresh berry season and providing a visually appealing alternative to traditional varieties. Their historical development showcases efforts in plant breeding to improve fruit quality, yield, and hardiness. These attributes contribute to their increasing popularity among home gardeners and commercial growers.
