The well-known variety 'Coroa' is believed to belong to this species, also 'Murta' which has smaller leaves and larger fruits. The latter was among those sent to California in 1904. The fruit is small, thin-skinned and sweet. The tree is of medium size, precocious, and very productive. The tree is a strong grower and highly productive though it bears a single crop.
Flavor is sweet and very good.
The tree is much like that of 'Paulista'. Tree is very large and extremely productive. It has been reported from Brazil that solitary jaboticaba trees bear poorly compared with those planted in groups, which indicates that cross-pollination enhances productivity. Trees in central Florida have lived through freezing weather. Soil Jaboticaba trees grow best on deep, rich, well-drained soil, but have grown and borne well on sand in central Florida and have been fairly satisfactory in the southern part of the state on oolitic limestone.
