Produces yellow flowers at the apex in summer that attract pollinators. Fruit is yellow. Prefers full sun with some protection from harsh afternoon exposure. Not as frost-tolerant as Golden Barrel, but it can survive light freezes if kept dry. Requires excellent drainage and may need cover during extended freezes or wet winters.
