Cherry ‘Lapins’, commonly known as Lapins Sweet Cherry, is a highly popular self-fertile variety prized for its large, dark red cherries with firm, juicy flesh. The fruit has a rich, sweet flavor and excellent texture, making it perfect for eating fresh, baking, and preserving. Its reliable crops and high-quality fruit make it one of the best choices for both home gardeners and commercial orchards.
Lapins Cherry is self-fertile, meaning it does not require a pollinator to produce fruit, though yields can be even higher when grown near other cherry varieties. It thrives in sunny, well-drained soil and rewards growers with heavy crops of glossy, delicious cherries in summer.
