A top-performing cherry variety, known for its large, dark red, and juicy fruit with a mild sweet/sharp flavour, excellent for eating fresh, in baking, or for preserving. This self-fertile tree produces heavy crops, making it an excellent choice for UK gardens, and is resistant to cracking during summer rains, ensuring a bountiful harvest of unblemished cherries. ‘Lapins’ serves as a great pollinator for other varieties and bears fruit at an early age, making it an ideal option for those seeking a productive and upright-growing cherry tree on the Colt rootstock.

Pollination Information: Though partially self-fertile, this cherry will produce a bigger crop if planted with another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 3, however it is possible to use one from group 2 or 4 as well.

Garden care:

When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like the cherry should be lightly pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called Silver Leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Lightly prune to retain shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
