Variety description

10 August 2026

The term derives from the Italian word «duro» (hard) and indicates a category of sweet cherries with firm flesh of the bigarreau type. These forms represent local landraces traditional to various regions of Italy, such as Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, and Campania.

Representatives of this group are characterized by large, juicy fruits with a distinct sweet-and-sour taste, which are suitable for both fresh consumption and processing. The trees usually have medium to strong vigor and a spreading crown, and the fruits most often ripen in mid to late periods.

Since «Durona» encompasses many clones and local forms, resistance to diseases and fruit cracking varies depending on the specific representative. When choosing seedlings, it is necessary to verify the complete varietal identity of the plant.
