UF/IFAS Gainesville breeding program pipeline account: trials at IRREC with Lorenzo Rossi and at the Gainesville Teaching Grove were evaluating health and fruit quality to facilitate the Sherman early sweet-orange-like and Sunray early seedless mandarin-like releases. This supports program context and planned evaluation, not a precise release date.

PDF hosted by UF/IFAS Citrus REC; p. 13. Recently released UF-Gainesville Sherman and Sunray scions on US942 showed scion swelling, necrotic ring, chlorosis, stunting, and premature scion death; DPI virus indexing did not detect viruses. This is a specific scion/rootstock observation, not a generic cultivar disease claim or a virus-free guarantee.

Candidate-identity evidence only; p. 5 (printed C3), row 17 reports accession UFGNV0187 submitted by José Chaparro: October–November season, certified budwood, six-season Brix 11.6, juice ratio 14.71, fruit weight 102.9 (unit absent), deciduous, incompatible with US897 and US942, thorny, canker susceptible, and seedy. It does not identify this accession as Sherman; values and traits must remain attached to the unconfirmed candidate.

Unconfirmed event hypothesis only. The schedule lists an October 29, 2021, 10:30 event at the UF Campus Teaching Orchard hosted by Chaparro, with Peter Chaires as contact; it may be the October display mentioned for Sherman. A separate October 21 CREC display is another possibility. Neither listing identifies Sherman, and no labeled photograph or agenda tying Sherman to either event was verified. Archived and republication dates conflict; publication date is intentionally omitted.
