About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Lapins is a self fertile late cultivar and therefore perfect if you only want to plant a single cherry tree. The large, dark red, firm fruits ripen at the beginning of July and are somewhat more crack resistant than many early cultivars. At the same time Lapins is a reliable pollinator for other cherries, a good universal partner in a mixed planting.
Firm, dark red flesh with clear sweetness and lovely juiciness. An easy going, high yielding cultivar that crops without a second tree and suits the small garden well.
