This tree is highly productive, featuring a semi-spur growth habit that promotes heavy fruit set. Unlike many cherry varieties, Lala Star has excellent resistance to cracking due to rain, ensuring a reliable harvest even in unpredictable weather. It blooms alongside Sam and Rainier, making it a great addition to an orchard with multiple cherry varieties.
