Lapins sweet cherry
Lapins is a self-fertile sweet cherry known for its large, dark red fruit, excellent flavor, and reliable yields—even in cooler climates. Produces firm, juicy cherries with rich, sweet flavor and glossy skin. The fruit ripens in mid to late July, slightly after Bing, and resists cracking—making it a favorite for fresh eating, market sales, and home orchards. Cherries are large and heart-shaped, with deep red flesh and excellent shelf life, hardy in Zones 5–8. It’s self-pollinating, eliminating the need for a second tree, and performs well in full sun with well-drained soil. Lapins is also known for its consistent productivity and tolerance to cherry diseases, including bacterial canker and brown rot. Whether you’re planting for flavor, resilience, or simplicity, Lapins offers a dependable harvest and orchard beauty with minimal fuss.
