Why Choose Lapins Cherry in New Zealand?

The Lapins Cherry adapts beautifully to New Zealand's climate, offering a consistent crop even in regions with unpredictable weather. Its glossy, deep red fruit matures late in the cherry season, which means you’ll be able to enjoy fresh cherries when most other varieties have finished. Lapins Cherries are known for their:

• Large, juicy, and sweet fruit with excellent flavour
• Reliable and heavy cropping year after year
• Firm flesh, fantastic for fresh eating or preserving
• Resistance to cracking, a real asset during wet periods

No matter if you're a seasoned grower or planting your very first fruit tree, Lapins Cherry offers a lovely combination of flavour, beauty, and dependability.

Growing and Caring for Cherry Lapins NZ

Lapins Cherry trees are self-fertile, so you only need one to produce bountiful crops. However, planting other varieties nearby, such as Cherry Stella or Cherry Dawson, can boost your harvest and offer a longer picking season.

Here are key tips for growing Lapins Cherry in New Zealand:

• Location: Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining soil.
• Planting: Late winter to early spring is ideal for planting.
• Watering: Keep the young tree well-watered, especially during fruit development.
• Pruning: Prune in late summer to encourage airflow and manage size. This helps prevent disease and ensures your tree remains easy to harvest.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced fruit tree fertiliser in early spring.

For gardeners seeking compact growth, consider alternatives like Cherry Compact Stella, perfect for smaller spaces.

Companion Fruit Trees for Your Home Orchard

Adding a Lapins Cherry tree to your landscape sets you up for seasons of tasty rewards. Many New Zealand gardeners pair Lapins with other fruit trees for a varied, extended harvest. Popular options include Cherry Stella, Cherry Tangshi, and double grafted trees like Cherry Double Grafted Lapins and Dawson.

If you're dreaming of a diverse orchard, consider complementing your cherry trees with Feijoa Opal Star, Fig Brown Turkey, Olive J2 (Olea J2), Apricot Trevatt, or Apricot Tomcot.
