More advice about pollination.
Lapins is one of the modern self-fertile cherries developed in Canada, and a useful pollinator for other varieties. It is one of the heavier-cropping cherries, and comes into bearing at an early age - therefore a good choice if you want a large cherry tree on the Colt rootstock.
