Description

Plinia sp. “Vaca Brava Pentamera” — giant Goiás jaboticaba

This collector accession comes from the Córrego Vaca Brava area in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. Clayton reports the source plant growing in forest roughly 1 km from a farm, and a long-term local resident reported knowing the plant for many years.

• Origin: Córrego Vaca Brava area, Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil
• Fruit size: approximately 4–5 cm according to source measurements / comparison photos
• Fruit color: progresses through green and reddish-purple stages to very dark purple-black when mature
• Flavor: skin and pulp described by the source as extremely sweet
• Habit: source reports a relatively small/compact plant
• Crop: source reports one main crop per year, at a timing different from common jaboticabas in the area

Identification note: Clayton uses the collector/field name “Vaca Brava Pentamera”. We are keeping the botanical identification conservatively as Plinia sp. The “pentamera” label has not been independently confirmed from flower material, so it should not be interpreted here as a formal taxonomic determination.
