Overall
For me Preto is an earlier ripening Black Madeira. It is larger with a longer neck. It grows faster than BM and taste identical in my opinion. Preto likes to grow along ground unless trained. I have found that 50% or my rooted pretos like to sleep the first year with minimal growth but take off the following season with growth and fruit.
