Cherry ‘Lapin’ – Late Season Sweet Cherry Tree
Cherry ‘Lapin’ is a high-yielding, late-season sweet cherry tree that produces an abundance of large, deep red, heart-shaped fruit with firm, sweet red flesh. Its dark red to almost black skin and exceptional flavour make it perfect for fresh eating, jams, and preserves. Unlike many other varieties, Lapin cherries are more resistant to splitting, ensuring a reliable harvest.
This variety is self-pollinating, making it ideal for smaller gardens or limited spaces, and thrives in cooler climate areas. Mature fruit is typically ready in late December.
For best results, plant your cherry tree in well-drained, well-worked soil. Ensure the bud union is above soil level, water in thoroughly, and keep the soil moist until the tree is established. Fertilise at planting and again after new growth appears, and prune lightly to encourage strong new growth. Lapin is a vigorous and productive cherry tree, perfect for gardeners seeking a reliable, sweet, late-season crop.
