‘Lapins’ is a popular sweet cherry known for large, dark red fruit with firm texture and rich flavor. It is self-fruitful, making it an excellent single-tree option for home gardens. Harvest typically occurs early summer. Fruit is ideal for fresh eating and desserts.

On semi-dwarf MaxMa rootstock, trees are productive and easier to manage. ‘Lapins’ is valued for good crack resistance and consistent yields when given adequate sun and water. Annual pruning helps maintain structure and improves light penetration.
