It's growing very well. At first it put out leaves all over the main trunk. It had no branches, but it was covered in leaves. Now it''s putting out branches. Very good for its first year.

Cherries in Idaho
So far so good. It is making a strong start in a soil I had to amend as it is a heavy clayloam that has a very high pH. I have seen no indication of nutrient problems or suceptibility to insects. Branching is normal and healthy as it had been properly pruned prior to shipment. It is resistant to strong winds despite large leaves that I worried would be damaged. It did arrive a little later than I hoped for but I was ready for its arrival.

If you ever wanted to grow a sweet cherry tree, this is the one to get! Most sweet cherry varieties need a pollinator, but this one does not. I planted my Lapins four years ago, and this year I got about a half dozen cherries to ripen. Not bad considering it usually takes 5 - 7 years to get a crop. The cherries I did taste were awesome! When you taste home grown, tree ripened fruit, you suddenly understand why you did it. These cherries put store bought cherries to shame! They have the same appearance as bing (just like in the photo) but taste so much. I really can't get over how much more flavor my cherries had than the store bought stuff. They do take some maintenance and care if you want the best cherries. I would purchase this tree again in a heartbeat!
