Talk:Lapins cherry

"... sweet while still red"
This phrase (sweet while still red) probably makes perfect sense to a cherry grower, and I even suspect that I probably understand it myself, but to a layman all the cherries in a box of Lapins are red - some darker red, some lighter red. (For example, to anyone who's not a cherry grower, the "black" category includes something that's been painted black, but doesn't include the colour of a dark cherry.) Could this phrase be made a bit clearer for non-experts, without completely ruining it for the experts? I started to edit, but gave up because I'm not knowledgeable enough.

K. O. Lapins bred this variety?
The info lists Mr. Lapins as the breeder, but the article seems slightly unclear on that point, only saying it was named in his honour long after he retired. This could mean he WAS the breeder but it took them a long time to release his work, or it could mean the variety was developed by others who felt they were "standing on his shoulders" and wanted his contribution recognized.

 * To me, it seems that the GoodFruit source states directly that Lapins was the breeder, but the release took place long after his retirement - "The cherry that now bears his name is a late-maturing cross of Van and Stella that he selected in 1971. It was not released until 1983, almost a decade after he retired." PohranicniStraze (talk) 01:48, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
