Lapins is listed in Jung's catalog as hardy U.S. zones 5 - 7, a natural 
semi-dwarf, self-fertile. I have two that came thru there first winter in 
very good shape.

My 4 year old Lapins is over 20 feet tall...

By the by they are not hardy in zone 4 - I am in 4b and that is the breaking 
point...you might try Stark Gold...it is a bit hardier though not truly 
small...

As an FYI Northsatr is a morello type, hardy in zone 4 and 6-8 ft...they hang 
when ripe just fine, and when dead ripe, are sort of sweet, earlier than that 
they are tart.

Regards, 

the fluffy bunny

Our Lapins never fruited here in zone 5 after about five years on Giesela 
due I believe to fruit bud mortality during even mild winters. Not to say 
it wouldn't occassionally friuit, the tree was young and has been destroyed 
by a vandal so I can't say for sure.
The experiment station in Door Cnty, WI recommends Emperor Francis, 
Kristen, , and Gold. I also have grown Yellow Glass with good fruiting in 
zone 4b. I suspect they would approve of the new cultivars: White Gold and 
that other one, what was it called, Black Gold?
