This tree is across the street from my parents. The person who planted moved away, two other people have told us that it is a Lapins. My Mom thinks it is too big for a Lapins and more likely a Stella. If it is a Lapins, your concerns about keeping yours small are justified. As far as we know, no one has ever bothered to prune it. It has a natural pretty shape, but they don't get many cherries from it because 1) they can't reach them and 2) the birds get there first because they can't get a net over it.
