Pawnee Golden is a golden currant selection, a fruiting shrub in the golden currant group identified here as Ribes odoratum. It was referenced in 1939 and described as the fourth generation from Crandall, grown among many native South Dakota seedlings. This places it within N. E. Hansen era prairie selection work based on hardy local and introduced currant material. [S1]
The fruit is described as shining black rather than yellow, about 3/8 inch across, and of good quality. The bulletin’s broader notes on golden currant say the species is valued for fresh eating and preserves. Pawnee Golden appears to fit that small fruit tradition rather than being noted only as an ornamental. [S1]
The shrub is described as strong growing and a heavy bearer. The same page presents golden currant as a vigorous shrub with abundant yellow flowers in early spring. This places Pawnee Golden among hardy, productive prairie currants selected for toughness and edible fruit. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is stated for Pawnee Golden, but its origin among native South Dakota seedlings and its inclusion in a bulletin on hardy fruits for the Northwest place it in a northern Great Plains context. [S1]
Its name also fits the station’s naming pattern for these currants. The bulletin notes that the golden currant selection names were drawn from the Sioux language. [S1]
