About Lapins
Lapins is a self-fertile sweet cherry with large, firm, dark red fruit and a sweet flavor. It is a productive modern cultivar and is often used in home orchards.
Growing Lapins Cherry
Lapins does not require another sweet cherry for pollination, though bees still support good set. Pick when fruit is fully dark red and firm, and manage rain cracking with good canopy airflow and rain protection where practical.
