HISTORY OF PLACER COUNTY CALIFORNIA/Page 249
To Mr. Moses Andrews of Auburn is due the honor of first planting oranges in Placer County. In 1860 he followed the example of the experimenter of Bidwell's Bar, and planted some orange seed. These sprouted and grew, taking their chances among other fruit trees of a more hardy nature, and in due time blossomed and bore the delicious fruit. The tree of Mr. Andrews stood on an exposed ridge, fully 1,300 feet above the level of the sea, and, through all its years from sprouting to bearing, withstood whatever of winter frosts and summer drought prevailed, maturing into a vigorous and fruitful tree, a conclusive and satisfactory proof of the adaptability of the region to production of semi-tropical fruits. In 1871 Mr. Andrews saw his first oranges, and from that time they have become plentiful.
