Varieties
The species was traditionally multiplicated by seed. Imporved cultivars are now multiplicated vegetatively by layering or grafting. Three groups are distinguished in Thailand:
- Prew Group, with very acid fruits, corresponding to the wild type. In Borneo, the cultivar 'Hintalu' is grown.
- Mayong Group, with slightly acid fruits, is grown and popular in Thailand. The best known cultivar is 'Chid'.
- Wan Group, with sweet fruits, is the most grown, and is exported. The best known cultivar is 'Ta It', bred more than a century ago. In Borneo, 'Ramania Pipit' and 'Ramania Tembai' are grown.
