Fallgold,, an autumn fruiting variety. I planted mine last year so not had a great crop yet. They're growing and spreading really well at the moment though so only time will tell how well they do. I didn't know they was yellow when I bought them, they were the last few and half price at a garden center I went to.

The few berries I did get off them last autumn tasted... well, like raspberries but yellow.

I think they are a bit like marmite, you either love them or hate them! I planted some last year and had a small crop, I really liked them and hope they sucker a bit to increase my stock.

We used to have a few Fallgold at the end of a row of Autumn Bliss
They crop at about the same time - Aug-Oct ish - but dont have such a strong 'raspberry' taste
We swapped them for some JA's last year  8)

Fallgold is an Autumn Bliss sport, so they should crop at the same time..

We planted Fallgold maybe 5 or 6 yrs. ago and it grew into sturdy, prolific vines BUT the taste was bland and not sweet. I tore them all out this winter and plan to add to our Heritage raspberry plot which are smaller and bushier and have intense raspberry flavor and a Fall crop.
