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

This vigorous tree produces two crops per year. The first crop is small, in late June-July. The main crop in September-October at 2500' is prolific. The fruit is violet-brown in the sun to greenish violet in the shade. The rich flesh is red, very juicy and of very good quality. This tree has survived many snows, and offers a multi branched, productive, wonderful fruit.

The grandmother tree is vigorously growing and producing on an 1890s homestead at 2500’ on American Hill in Nevada City, about 1 mile from Gillet’s Barren Hill Nursery. Nevada City was a bustling place in the late 1800s, the Queen of the Northern Mines, with much agriculture to feed the miners. We have found many Felix trees in this community, likely due to nearly 100 years of continuous nursery operation. Felix grew many of the trees and vines still thriving in and around Nevada City.

Please Note: We do not ship figs individually. It is too expensive to ship figs individually right now, but will ship them when ordered with other barefoot trees.
