The Lapins Cherry trees resulted from a hybrid cross between the Stella and Van Cherry trees. These trees are self pollinating and require no companion trees to be planted for the Lapins to form fruit on its own.. The very large cherries (up to 1in) grow in dense firm clusters, and the deep red skin covers the red-purple pulp that develops inside each cherry. The rich taste provides a pleasant balance of sweet and tart, and the large fruit production from each tree makes the Lapins cherry cultivar an important commercial cherry that ripens in late June and July.
