Lapins Sweet Cherry is a vigorous fruiting deciduous tree that produces a heavy crop of large sweet dark red cherries with a hint of tart. Its white flowers bloom in spring, and are followed by the berries that are ready for harvest in early summer. Grows best in most, well-drained soils that are lightly acidic. Lapins is self-pollinating with improved disease resistance and crack resistance.
