Coccoloba uvifera (Sea Grape)

Coccoloba uvifera, commonly known as Sea Grape, is a tropical evergreen tree valued for its large, rounded leaves, attractive branching structure, and excellent tolerance to coastal conditions. Native to tropical coastal regions, this hardy species is widely recognised for its ability to withstand salt spray, strong winds, and sandy soils, making it an ideal choice for seaside and tropical landscapes.

The tree develops a broad, spreading canopy with large glossy leaves that create a unique tropical appearance. Small clusters of edible grape-like fruits may develop after flowering, adding seasonal interest and ecological value by attracting birds and wildlife.
