Bombardier
Cherry variety Lapins rootstock Franco
Cáceres, Spain
The application of BOMBARDIER has led to the increase in yield of cherry variety Lapins. This increase is due, in greater proportion, to the increase in number of cherries per tree and in lesser proportion, to a slight increase in the fruits average weight. The caliber of the cherries was maintained despite a strong increase in yield.
