Seagrape

Coccoloba uvifera

seagrape

Ideal for landscapes around beach homes or tropical areas with sandy soil, the seagrape is a virtually maintenance-free plant. The seagrape is drought and salt tolerant, making it a sturdy but attractive plant to use for hedges, screens, or even as shade trees. The large, round, green leaves have red veins adding an exciting twist to the color scheme of the plant. The baygrape, as it is also called, gets small white flowers that eventually turn in to round green bunches of fruit that resemble traditional grapes.

care

Seagrape is happy in full sun but can take dappled sunlight for part of the day. Water it regularly until it is established and then only as needed. This plant can tolerate almost all kinds of soils but thrives in sandy, well-drained soils since it is native to the coast. Fertilize with a well-balanced fertilizer three times a year starting in the spring
