The Mother Orange Tree is the oldest living orange tree in Northern California. The California Historical Landmark is currently located at 400 Glen Drive in Oroville, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=California Historical Landmarks: Butte County )〕 ==History== Originally planted in Bidwell's Bar near the Bidwell Bar Bridge, the tree is a Mediterranean sweet orange ''Citrus × sinensis'' cultivar. The citrus rootstock was brought from Mazatlán, Mexico on a shipping vessel. The two-year-old orange tree, which was a novelty in Northern California at the time, was purchased in 1856 by Judge Joseph Lewis in the city of Sacramento and planted at the western approach to the bridge. As the years passed and the tree flourished, growing to a height of over 60 feet (18 m), it was a favorite attraction of miners. They would sample its fruit and save seeds to plant in the dooryards of their cabins. On average, it yielded about 600 pounds (273 kg) of oranges that ripened between February and May each year.
