I saw Sherwood a couple of years ago ... at a meeting of SFF somewhere down south.  He must be pushing 90.

Thanks for the update.  When I requested a list from him he wrote (in shakey handwriting)  he no longer did this.  He has apparently either regained some health and energy or didn't want to deal with mail order.

I visited Sherwood Akin on my way home from the June '04 SFF meeting in Arkansas. His inventory of plants in his nursery is still extensive for a person his age working alone. In recent years he is devoting a lot of time propagating citrus, especially cold hardy selections. He addressed this in the article submitted and printed in the most recent issue of POMONA. His travel is limited because if the care required by his wife, an Alzheimer's patient.
 
In regards to "Rush Chinknut", it has been dropped from his inventory of plants.
 
Sherwood is not" on line" but this message has been coordinated with him by phone and meets with his approval.

I tried to get some citrus material from Mr. Akin a few years back.  He is out of the plant business due to age.

Victor,

The advertisement in Pomona (published 20 years ago) was from J.S. Akin in Sibley, LA.  I have done some more research and found this entry in the Fruit, Berry and Nut Inventory, 3rd edition…

 

Sherwood’s Greenhouses, PO Box 6, Sibley, LA  71073,  318-377-3653

 

This is the only source listed for Rush Chinknut from 1988 to the present.

Mark:
      The chestnut does not seem to do well in southeast
Texas but the chinquapin does, maybe the hybrid would also. Can you tell me which nursery had the add?      Victor
