I have fruited both these selections obtained from John Gordon.
The fruit of both is identical in shape(as in Jerry's photo below), but NC-10 ripens much earlier.
The first ripe fruit of NC-10 dropped Sept 14 '09,whereas Geneva Long is very late-ripening-- about the same time as John Rick.
James Claypool's L51A also first soft-ripe on Sept 14 this year, and Juhl/Yates first soft-ripe fruit was Sept. 18, '09.
Geneva Long has consistently had somewhat larger fruit than NC-10 ,but this may partially reflect the difference in crop load between the two varieties. Geneva Long has never been very productive in the six years that it's fruited here .
Cannot distinquish between the two in taste.
Does anyone know how Doug Campbell obtained NC-10?
Was it perhaps a seedling of Geneva Long?

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.
