QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • How does a Lapins cherry tree do in north central florida

    If you are north of Gainesville, I'd say you could successfully grow Lapins. 

  • I would like to know if this tree will grow and fruit well in North Texas in the Dallas area?

    It is well-suited for warmer climates as it has low-chill hour requirements. 

  • I have a Hudson which needs a pollinator. It will have to grow in a pot, so 5-7 feet. I'm in western Oregon. Is Lapin a good choice, or what would you suggest?

    Lapins should do well in your area and function as another sweet cherry for pollination.

  • I would like to know if this tree grow well in Atlanta GA and how many year it will estimated to fruit for this tree ?

    It will grow, though not as well as pie cherries like Montmorency. On a Gisela stock they should start fruiting within 2-3 years.

  • I live in Western Washington and am looking for a good dwarf sweet cherry tree that will grow well in my area.

    Lapins and Stella are great picks!

  • Will this tree do well in west michigan?

    It should yes. Lapins is a reliable and vigorous cherry that does well in areas cherries typically don't.

  • How many years estimated to fruit for these cherry trees?

    On this rootstock it's pretty quick. 2-3 years if all goes well.

Great Bareroot Tree

I was very pleased upon opening the well packed box. While there was no branching, there was a lot of leaf buds, and the diameter of the trunk was very sturdy. I had a hole with amended soil prepared, due to my clay rocky soil, and planted right away. Not sure how the cherry tree will do in Oklahoma, but it is branching out now and off to a good start. While Raintree is a little more expensive you get a great tree delivered quickly.

Happy healthy cherry tree

Bought this several months ago and it was shipped when it was a good time to plant it. It arrived looking very healthy and packed well. I'd absolutely buy from Raintree Nursery again.

I am very pleased. My shipment was delayed, because of UPS (not Raintree Nursery). When I contacted Raintree, I got a rapid response, which I appreciated. My trees arrived on Thursday and I planted them on Friday. They were very will packaged and the trees were in good shape and look very good. When I got up this morning (Sat.) there were 3 blossoms on one of the trees and some developing on the other tree. I was excited to see them. Hope I did a good job of planting them. I planted them in 20 gallon containers.
On another note. I ordered 3 Cascade Red Current bushes earlier this year. They are also planted in containers and they are doing great so far.
I am very pleased. Thanks for such great plants.

Flowers Within a Week!

We received our Lapins cherry tree on Friday, April 14. It looked beautiful out of the box full of swelling buds. We planted it and watched it grow. By Friday the 21, the tree flowered. I have purchased plants from several sources both local and online. I have been very impressed with this tree and and the other tree, plum, we purchased from Raintree along with their responsive and informative staff. I look forward to watching this tree thrive and hope to be able to enjoy some yummy cherries soon.

First full season and this Lapins is full of blooms!

I ordered a black gold and a lapins cherry tree last year. The both did great leafing out the first season in the ground. Now they both have a ton of flowers and are leafing out really nicely. So far I couldn t be happier with both trees.
