Lapins Cherry Tree

Origin: Canada

Description:The Lapins Cherry Tree, is known for its large, dark red to purple cherries and its ability to self-pollinate. Originating from Canada, this variety is well-suited for growers who prefer not to plant multiple cherry varieties for cross-pollination. The tree exhibits a vigorous growth habit with a semi-dwarf form, making it easier to harvest.

Fruit: The Lapins fruit is firm, large, and one of the sweetest among cherry varieties, with a skin that resists splitting. Its sweet flavor makes it highly prized for fresh eating, desserts, and canning.

Harvest: Cherries ripen by mid to late July, providing a relatively early harvest. This variety is known for its heavy yields and the consistency of its fruit production.

Pollination: Self-pollinating, does not require a pollinator, but can benefit from cross-pollination with other cherry varieties to increase yield and fruit size.

Spacing: Trees are best spaced about 3.5 to 4.5 meters apart, allowing ample room for mature spread. Typically, trees reach a height of 2.5 to 3.5 meters.

Good to know: The Lapins Cherry Tree is exceptionally resistant to both cracking and many of the common diseases that affect cherry trees, reducing the need for chemical treatments. Its adaptability to various climates and soil types, coupled with minimal susceptibility to late frosts, makes it a popular choice for both new and experienced growers.
