Vignola cherries: the black callus.
Vignola cherries are those that grow on a particular variety of cherry known as Black Vignola Durane. Among the fruit trees, this one matures in the medium-late period and produces fruit which must be eaten when they are still fresh. These fruit plants should be planted so that part of their root system is located at ground level. The surrounding area should be compressed and mixed with organic compost to create a bowl which should be moistened with twenty liters of water. This will keep it glued to the mass, preventing the formation of air bubbles. This is a fundamental operation if you want to get delicious vineyard cherries .

Late planting, in the middle of winter, is only possible if it is done in unfrozen soil. Another useful period is between February and March, which goes, in extreme cases, until the first half of April. If these fruit trees have been previously grown in pots, it is possible to sow seeds at other times without production of vineyard cherry be particularly affected. It is important that the soil is particularly fertile and deep.

This agricultural production intensified gradually, experiencing a real explosion during the second post-war period. During these years, in fact, the production of vine cherries has increased to the point of becoming an important source of income for the region in which they are grown. Even today, these fruits are considered one of the most important calling cards of Italian productions, with their shiny skin and juicy pulp.
