Family Rosaceae

Prunus cerasus ‘Lambert’ is a hardy and productive sour cherry tree, renowned for its dark red, very juicy cherries with a tart, Morello cherry-like flavor, perfect for pies, preserves, jellies, and fresh consumption. This cultivar develops an abundant white bloom in spring, attracting pollinators, followed by dense green foliage that structures the garden well. With its rounded, vigorous habit, ‘Lambert’ integrates easily into family orchards, fruit hedges, or edible gardens in Quebec, offering regular and generous production even in cool climatic conditions. It prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil, combining hardiness, ease of cultivation, and taste quality to enrich your fruit plantings.
