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.

If you feel our work is important, please consider a donation to help take care of our Mother Orchard and the historic fruit and nut trees we have discovered

Product Details

These are the sweet, tart Cranberries you might enjoy at the Holidays, but our selection is sweeter than those found in stores. Ripe fruit keep in refrigeration for up to 9 months! The plants are pest and disease free, long lived, and slowly spread through self rooting. They are native to boggy areas and require a near constant source of moisture which can be provided by sprinkler or micro sprinkler. They ripen in November at 3000' in the Sierra. Most likely Vacciinum Macrocarpon, they are a small, evergreen shrub that creeps along the ground in thin vines then curves up, no higher than a foot, to produce beautiful, red fruit. Gathered from cranberry bogs planted sometime in the late 1800s that were left to Nature and are now the only wild, cranberry bogs West of the Mississippi! 4" pots or 1 gallon

Please Note: We do not ship potted plants individually. It is too expensive, but we will ship them when ordered with other barefoot trees. By themselves, they are only available for pick up in N. San Juan. 4"Pot

North Columbia, where this bog was discovered, is the site of the largest hydraulic, gold mining operation in history. Thousands flocked to this area for the glitter of the gold, bringing their plants from their home or homeland with them. We are fortunate that a migrating miner brought his favorite cranberry to the San Juan Ridge.
