Interesting. Maybe I will try grafting a scion from my Lapins onto a Carmine Jewel sucker. If it survives, then try another variety for better pollination, but Lapins is supposedly self-pollinating. I think my Kristin tree croaked. The location wasn’t very good. I have tried to grow sweet cherries for years without much success, but the area is too dry and sandy, with large trees nearby. Even the Carmine jewels don’t do well there, as opposed to my CJs at another property which are going gangbusters.

My CJ grows very well here and is sending suckers 15’ away from the tree. I have Starkrisom grafted on CJ. It is another version of lapin. I think
one of unlabeled graft is Kristin. Some graft died ,some graft lives, I am kinda lost the track of grafted cultivars now.
