The ‘Kiwi Gold’ Raspberry (Rubus idaeus ‘Kiwi Gold’) is a yellow-fruited everbearing variety, prized for its large, golden raspberries, which are juicy, particularly sweet, and have low acidity.
It produces a light first harvest in summer on previous year's canes, then a main harvest from late summer until the first frost on new growth.
It develops a vigorous, upright plant that may require light support. Like other raspberry bushes, it suckers.
The flowers are visited by pollinators, promoting good production.
