The name Durone means "hard" and denotes a category of fruit known as "bigarreau cherries." These are traditional Italian varieties, many of which have ancient origins and are associated with specific regions, such as Vignola.

Fruits of this group are distinguished by dense, juicy, and crunchy flesh; their size varies from medium to large, and the color can range from yellow-red to almost black. The trees are usually medium or tall, with a spreading crown; the fruits mature mainly in mid-late and late periods.

Characteristics regarding disease resistance and rain cracking resistance depend on the specific variety within this group. For proper planting and care, it is necessary to identify the exact variety name following the word Durone and to select a suitable pollinator variety.
