seagrape

Also known as: Baygrape, Sea Grape Tree

Seagrape is a tough tropical evergreen known for its large, rounded green leaves and naturally full growth. Native to coastal areas of the Caribbean, Florida, and Central and South America, this resilient coastal landscape plant handles salt, heat, and dry conditions especially well once established. Female plants can produce clusters of small fruit that ripen from green to deep purple in late summer, adding seasonal interest to the landscape. Seagrape is a great choice for privacy screens, coastal gardens, tropical landscapes, hedges, and large outdoor spaces where you want bold foliage and dependable year round greenery.
