Lapins (also marketed as Cherokee)[1] is a cultivar of cherry.

[4] It was one of the varieties developed by the agronomist Karlis O. Lapins (Lapiņš), a native of Latvia who did pioneering work in the development of self-fertile cherry cultivars.

Though the cultivar was not released until 1983, years after his retirement, it was named in his honor.

[1] It has dense, green foliage and a branch structure conducive to heavy yields.

[5] The fruit of the Lapins cultivar is regarded as very high quality.
