Back Acres Azaleas
Page 1                                           For descriptions please click here for a printable list

The Back Acre hybrids, shown here were developed by B. Y. Morrison at Pass Christian, Mississippi following his retirement from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. They are shown here in hopes of finding the lost ones.  There were 53 registered, several of these are now presumed lost.  Shown here are many others that were not  in the original registration that have distribution under now generally accepted names, and some under the numbers they were grown.  There are 7 pages of illustrations  with 9 photos each page. If there is a line around an images, please click on flower to see more information.

The purpose of this web page is to find any of the missing back acres azaleas that may still exist.  If you have any of the missing plants please email me so they can be added to the collection.  If you have any cutting or plants of the Back Acres please contact me and I will list the sources.
Currently I do not have any sources for the Back Acres Azaleas.  If you sell plants or cuttings of these please contact me and I will add sources to this page.  I hope sources can be found and azaleas distributed to preserve them for the future. As you can see many are already lost and only if they are in more private gardens will they be preserved.

Please send an email of corrections, complaints, praise or any other trash to:     dsauer@erols.com
