On the arms, the tree recalls the town's name, lit. Black Brazilian Pine. The grapes highlight the significance of wine-growing in the municipality. Gerino de Costa planted in 1919 the first grapevine, which produced two years later Santa Catarina's first wine. The municipality has now some 20 wine-growers, who account for 70% of the state's production.
