[Syrupmakers] Southern Matters . . .

[Richard Harrison]

Ken R,
   Jujubes practically originated in LA! Sherwood Akin(deceased) of Sibley, discovered 1 on the banks of the Red River and marketed trees of it. He discovered one large-fruited variety which he name Sherwood. It is a date-like fruit which is produced on a somewhat thorny, but deciduous tree. Dried, they taste much like dried dates from palms(dactylifera, I think). Eaten raw, they are much like a very sweet apple--with a large seed in the middle.
 
Bill,
     How are the pawpaws? I have some this year.
                                                        Richard

Ok, I get the figs, pears and grapes but I have to ask, what is a jujube???
I don't think we have those in LA.
