Unfortunately, due to weather and a series of other factors we have had a second year of losses that left us with significantly fewer bare root trees to sell.
With Adam and Jenifer both taking on other jobs to make ends meet in their respective lives, we anticipate being able to offer the few trees we have in December ’23/January ’24.
Please stay tuned for updates.

With these losses, we are shifting our focus to care for and maintain the historic varieties in our Mother Orchard as well as offer educational activities rather than bareroot propagation and sales.

We have passionately searched for and re-discovered the living, historic plants still scattered across Northern California from the Gold Rush era. We have personally found these trees and have taken cuttings directly from the ancient, 125+ year old grandmother trees that are still alive on abandoned homesteads, ranches and mining claims.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT, YOUR PURCHASES AND GENEROUS DONATIONS.

Product Details

Wonderfully delicious. Large, Firm and Juicy - Heirloom White Peach that bears abundantly. This freestone variety was considered the best for decades and its genetics were later bred into many of the popular white peaches available today. Its a great backyard Peach since it can be used for eating fresh, canning, preserves, baking and almost anything! They do not store very long. One of our most favorite peaches. Very Little Fuzz, Pink Blossoms and Low Chill. Ripe in Late August at 2500'. Babcock was bred in California in late 1920's and quickly became a hit! Our Peach Trees are very large 2 year trees.

Our fruit explorer friend Mark Fowler in Newcastle, Stewarts an old orchard and nursery left over from early 1900's. Some of the trees he takes care of are original 100 year trees but he has also top grafted hundreds of varieties of heirloom fruit on his trees. Thanks Mark, You are the Best!

Susceptible to leaf curl. However, if trees are in a healthy environment peaches can live with leaf curl and produce abundantly after they shed their leaves but it can get bad if not taken care of or in a bad environment and would need to be sprayed. They often produce abundantly and need a good thinning when golfball size.
