Sea Grape
The Sea Grape (Coccoloba uvifera) is a tropical plant native to coastal areas of the Caribbean and parts of Florida. It is known for its large, round leaves and clusters of small, greenish flowers that develop into grape-like fruits. These fruits are edible and can be used to make jams and jellies.
Sea Grapes thrive in sandy soils and are often found in beach dunes and coastal forests. They play an important role in preventing erosion and providing habitat for wildlife. The plant is also valued for its ornamental qualities, making it a popular choice for landscaping in coastal regions.
