Lapins
Canada
Wild cherry, Mahaleb, Colt
Late June – early July
The Lapins variety, like Sunburst, was developed in Summerland, Canada, in 1965. It originated from a cross between Stella and Van. From Stella, it inherited self-pollination. The variety is characterized by exceptionally high yields, large fruits, and low susceptibility to cracking. It is one of the most attractive dark red cherry varieties.
The taste is sweet even before full ripeness. With excellent flavor and aroma, it contains 17–19% sugar.
The fruit is large (up to 11 grams), elongated, heart-shaped, and dark burgundy to almost black at full maturity. The cherries measure approximately 2.5 cm in diameter. The skin is purplish-red to dark red. The flesh is firm, juicy, and flavorful.
Self-pollinating.
Tolerant to fruit cracking. The tree withstands winter frosts well.
You can purchase seedlings of Cherry Lapins at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
