Cherries
Lapins Cherry
✓ VerifiedCanada
Also bred in Canada, Lapins was developed as a self-fertile Bing-type replacement specifically to address Bing's two main weaknesses — the need for a separate pollinator and a real vulnerability to splitting after rain near harvest. It succeeded well enough at both that it has become one of the standard modern recommendations for a single-tree cherry planting.
