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
Sherwoods
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
