Woga Golden is a golden currant selection. N. E. Hansen's hardy fruit bulletin presents it as a 1939 introduction from native material gathered at Cottonwood, South Dakota. It belongs to the golden currant group, described in the same source as a vigorous shrub with early yellow flowers and fruit of good dessert and preserve quality. Woga Golden differs from the more usual black fruited forms by having yellow fruit. [S1]
The bulletin traces Woga Golden directly to native golden currants collected in western South Dakota. That local origin appears to explain why it was named and kept. The same page notes that yellow fruited golden currant plants occur in that region and that the names given to these selections come from the Sioux language. [S1]
The source description is brief but clear. Woga Golden produced a heavy crop in 1937, with shining yellow fruit about 3/8 inch across and a pleasant acid flavor. No storage or processing details are given for this named selection, but the surrounding species description says golden currants are excellent fresh or for preserves. [S1]
No direct zone rating or winter survival statement is given for Woga Golden. Its hardiness context is indirect: it was selected from native South Dakota material and published in a bulletin devoted to hardy fruit introductions for the northern Great Plains and Northwest. [S1]
