Lapins Sweet Cherry Tree

The Lapins Cherry Tree (Prunus avium 'Lapins') is a sweet cherry variety known for its large, dark red to black fruit with a firm texture and excellent flavor. The cherries are juicy and sweet, perfect for fresh eating, baking, or making preserves. Lapins trees thrive in USDA Zones 5-9 and require full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering. While they are self-pollinating, planting another cherry variety nearby can enhance fruit production. Lapins trees grow to about 15-20 feet tall and benefit from annual pruning to maintain shape and encourage better fruit yields. This variety is relatively resistant to many common cherry tree diseases, but it should still be monitored for pests like cherry leaf spot and aphid infestations.
