Description

Our Wild Ba Xian grows wild at 900 meters of altitude (Middle Mountain) above Da An Village. This comes from a small stand of trees that grow naturally and are more than 50 years old.

Ba Xian also known as the Eight Immortals Dan Cong grows in a couple of villages (Phoenix, Ping Keng Tou, and Zhong Shan) in the Wu Dong mountains typically at an elevation of 500-700 meters. The original eight plants of this varietal date back to the Song dynasty. Of the original eight plants, only one survived and it was from this Mother plant (now called F1) that Ba Xian survived and spread. For this reason it is also called Ba Xian Guo Hai (The Eight Immortals Cross the Ocean). Today Ba Xian is grown in a few villages (in Wu Dong) but is not mass produced.
