Thanks, Jerry But, now I’m back to being confused. Those photos of Geneva Long look identical to what my ‘NC-10’ is
producing – elongate fruits that drop free from the calyx, 2+” length X 1.5”
diameter – and similar in appearance to the line-drawing JHG has of NC-10 on
his website – and he indicates that it ripens in early September. The tree that I *thought* I had grafted with Geneva Long
scions from JHG produced a nice, average-size (1.5”) round fruit with good
flavor; nice, but no better than many unselected natives I’ve had the
opportunity to sample. These were the first two persimmons I ever grafted – early in my
orcharding career – and the only persimmon varieties I had at the time. You’d
think a guy could keep two varieties straight, but I may have gotten ‘em
switched. Lucky Hi Lucky, |
