cherry lapins nz

Lapins Cherry, often searched for as "cherry lapins nz", is one of New Zealand's most popular cherry varieties for home orchards and backyard growers. Renowned for its large, sweet, and reliable yields, the Lapins Cherry is a must-have for anyone looking to harvest delicious cherries straight from their own garden. If you're searching for a low-maintenance, self-fertile cherry tree that thrives across many regions in New Zealand, Lapins Cherry is an excellent choice.

Cherry Lapins

The 'Lapins' Cherry produces consistent yields of large, dark red fruit in summer. The flesh is red, sweet, and juicy. It does not require another variety planted alongside to produce fruit. This deciduous tree grows upright to about 5 m tall and 3 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. Cherries require a cold winter to set fruit, hence they are less suited to regions where winters tend to be mild. 'Lapins' is commonly used for fruit production and makes an attractive tree in its own right.
