I have found the Jan and Joy to have a very slight bitter and astringent aftertaste. You can taste the plum heritage in the fruit.  The taste works very well in a jam. Actually on of my favorites. The color ( deep red/purple) and texture hold well up too. 

The Nanking fruit and flowers earlier here in the south. Very productive bush, but the fruit is very fragile and does not cook well. The color changes to the a very unattractive pink goo. I eat it only fresh or frozen. Nice sour cherry taste (actually is sometimes reminds me of an under-ripe grape).  Joy and Jan seems to grow slower and end up being a smaller bush. Nankings grow fairly quickly to about 6-8 feet tall.

Where are you?  What dates?  Date of ripening could easily be the deciding factor for me.

Thanks.

Ginda,  I have both Nanking and Joel.  I love both.  Nanking ripens much earlier than Joel.  Taste is similar for both.

Has anyone grown Jan, Joel, & Joy?  How do you like them, as plants 
and for the fruit?  When does the fruit ripen?

How about Nanking cherries?  Same questions?

Which tastes better?  Which requires less sun to fruit?

I'm looking for something to use for a short hedge in partial sun.  I 
often go on vacation in August, so July and September are better times 
for fruit to ripen for me.

Thanks
