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 French variety is from the early 1800s. Felix began selling them in 1882. The luscious fruit is medium size, roundish with a long stem. The skin is transparent, pale yellow to translucent, with amber on the sun-exposed cheek. Flesh is whitish–yellow, tender, juicy, pleasant, brisk, sub acid, becoming floral sweet. Good quality. This is a unique variety and a conversation starter. An original variety, previously used to make Maraschino cherries. Ripens in July at 2700'. Large, vigorous and productive tree. Very resistant to bird feeding.

The grandmother tree is a very healthy, hundred plus-year-old, semi-wild, non-pruned beauty, growing at the old St. Charles stage stop in Goodyears Bar, Sierra County, along the banks of the North Fork of the Yuba River at 2700'. Goodyears Bar is the site of one of the original gold strikes on the Yuba River, and it hosted hundreds of miners who drank heartily at the bars. Now, Goodyears Bar is as quiet as can be and still sporting dozens of Felix Gillet's heirloom trees.
