1885 Olive Sapling

This is a living continuation of a nearly extinct cultivar — the Redding Picholine, planted in 1885 and preserved on a single heritage orchard in Northern California. These are the oldest known trees of their kind anywhere in the world, and through careful stewardship, we now offer a limited number of DNA‑verified saplings propagated directly from this historic grove.

Each sapling is a true genetic descendant of the original 1885 trees. This cultivar is no longer commercially available, and no other orchard on earth carries this lineage. By planting one of these saplings, you become a steward of a rare agricultural legacy that has survived droughts, storms, and 150 years of California history.

These saplings are ideal for:

• Estate plantings

• Heirloom orchards

• Homesteads

• Ministries

• Collectors of rare or historic plants

• Anyone who wants to preserve a one‑of‑a‑kind genetic line

Every sapling is grown with care, rooted in high‑quality soil, and prepared for successful transplanting. Because this cultivar is nearly extinct, each tree is issued with a Certificate of Provenance documenting its DNA‑verified lineage and orchard of origin.

This is more than a tree — it is a piece of living history.

Limited availability. Each sapling represents a rare continuation of a heritage that cannot be replaced.
