I just got Ian and Gabe from them at the fall festival today. They actually had 1 variety in 3 gal pots 40% off, but I didnāt have room in my car 
They propagate quite easily with cuttings, I got a few red ones rooted in the Spring and just started some white Ian cuttings a month ago. I also tried my hand with grafting last year and grafted a white branch on my red nanking, mostly for cross pollination. I also find it interesting the flowers are different between the red and white varieties.

Are the red flowers on the red ones?
Iāve managed to aquire Ian, Gabe, and Jules. They were my first stone fruit to flower this year sadly way before my last frost! All three were loaded with blossoms!

Yes, the pinkish ones are on the red nanking.
I grow white Nanking cherries. Yes, they are sweet and I havenāt had much problem with then. They do need a pollenizer that is different so another variety of white or a red can work.

Which one is the best for the largest and/or sweetest if you only want one between Gabe and Jules? Also would a red pollinate these? I have 2 reds and Footmore says they have reds and havenāt gotten any fruit from lone white. They are planning on planting another white.

I only grow Jules. Red and white should cross pollinate but they have to bloom at the same time. Here are my red and white.

Yes, in my experience White oneās are larger. In the picture, the red oneās are a hybrid that is larger than pure bred whites.

Does the red hybrid variety have a name? They look lighter than my red ones.
