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 Gold Rush Era Hops are most likely the German Noble Hop Hallertaur which originate in Hallertaur Bavaria.

The prolific and vigorous vines grow from Underground Rhizomes that grow throughout Spring and Summer but die back in the late fall winter. If trellised they can reach 20ft or taller. Back in the Day People would often plant hop vines along a house, barn or porch to bring shade and cool things down when the brutal July/ August heat was at its worst. The Flowers, aka Hops, aka Cones, aka Strobiles grow on the sun bathed tips and are harvested in Fall. They are used in Beer to add flavor, bitterness, aroma and function as a preservative. The dried flowers have a wonderful sweet smell with hints of citrus and cannabis.

Story has it, that during 1920's Prohibition Era, the Law bulldozed hops fields throughout the county to destroy them, they were pushed into piles, but it is hard to kill an established rhizome like these. The locals just picked em out and planted them all along the creeks and other wet areas. Hallertaur is an ingredient in lagers and German-style pilsners.

We sell this plant in one gallon pots. If you receive the plant in the fall or winter it may look like it is dying or may just be a bamboo stick, but the rhizome is still alive under the soil and can be transplanted. The roots of the rhizome will hold together the entire 1 gallon pot of soil during transplanting just like any other plant.

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.
