I have grown all three, hoping to beat the odds of having the flowers 
killed by late frost (NM, 7000 ft.)  I have occassionally gotten some 
fruit on the Joy and Jan.  The Joel did not survive.  However, this 
thread got me thinking that my Nankings fruit much more regularly, are 
larger plants and have bigger and tastier fruit, so I'm wondering now 
why bother with J/J/J. when I could have Nankings.  Just throwing this 
out for thought.

Btw, vis a vis the recent discussion of Nanking, mine are quite tasty.  
Not sure where I got my oldest one.  Two others are from Edible 
Landscaping.  One was supposed to be white but turned out not to be.  
Its fruits are quite nice.  They did send me a white one and it hasn't 
fruited yet.  I'm perfectly happy with my little Nanking fruits.  The 
birds don't seem to find them, as they are hidden inside the canopy.

Best,

Jay
