Sea Plum (Coccoloba uvifera x diversifolia) is a low-maintenance tree, native to Florida, particularly well-suited to coastal environments. It may grow 6-8 feet tall with a spread of 5-6 feet. This resilient plant thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and can tolerate a range of soil pH levels, from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. Sea Plum is known for its attractive, glossy leaves and clusters of small, grape-like fruits. The fruit start off green and turn a rich purple as they ripen, providing a valuable food source for various wildlife, including birds. Its ability to withstand salty conditions and strong coastal winds makes it an excellent choice for coastal landscaping. Sea Plum's fragrant white flowers attract a range of pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
