Scientific Name: Coccoloba uvifera

Common Names: Sea Grape, Seagrape

Overview: The Coccoloba Uvifera, more commonly known as the Sea Grape, flourishes along beaches in tropical areas of the U.S. and the Caribbean.In the late summer, it puts forth a fruit that looks similar to a grape, which, when ripe, turns purple. Many enthusiasts love to feast on Sea Grape jam or jellies – or even eat the fruit straight from the tree. Relatively wind resistant and shade tolerant, the Sea Grape is salt tolerant, which is why you’ll find it growing wild along the beaches. It may also be used as an ornamental shrub, but only in warmer climates, as it has no frost tolerance.

Description

Caring for your Sea Grape

Coccoloba uvifera, commonly known as the Sea Grape, is a versatile and resilient plant native to coastal regions of the Caribbean, Central America, and South Florida. Known for its large, leathery leaves, small clusters of fragrant white flowers, and grape-like fruit, the Sea Grape is a popular choice for coastal landscapes, hedges, and as a shade tree. Its adaptability to salty environments and sandy soils makes it an excellent choice for seaside gardens. Here’s how to care for this unique and attractive plant.

Light

Sea Grape thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For optimal growth and fruit production, it should receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. In areas with intense sun, some afternoon shade can help prevent leaf scorch.

Soil

Sea Grape is highly adaptable to various soil types, including sandy, loamy, and even rocky soils. However, it prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.5). It can tolerate poor soil conditions, making it ideal for coastal gardens where other plants might struggle.

Water

Sea Grape is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular watering during its initial growth phase. Water the plant deeply once a week during the first year, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In dry conditions, increase watering frequency. Mature Sea Grapes can withstand occasional droughts but will perform best with moderate, consistent moisture. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

The plant prefers high humidity and does well in coastal regions with salty air.

Fertilizing

Sea Grape does not require heavy fertilization but can benefit from a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season. Apply a general-purpose fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) in early spring and again in late summer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can promote foliage growth at the expense of fruit production. Organic compost or well-rotted manure can also be used to improve soil fertility and structure.

Pruning and Maintenance

Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and size of the Sea Grape, especially when used as a hedge or small tree. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches to encourage healthy growth. Light pruning throughout the growing season can help maintain its shape and prevent it from becoming too leggy.

For hedges, trim back the branches to the desired height and shape, ensuring even growth. If growing Sea Grape as a tree, prune lower branches to promote a single trunk and canopy development. Deadheading spent flowers can also encourage more blooms and fruit production.

Pest and Disease Control

Sea Grape is relatively pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by common garden pests such as scale insects, mealybugs, and spider mites. Regularly inspect the plant for signs of infestation and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary. Good air circulation and proper spacing can help prevent fungal diseases like leaf spot and powdery mildew.

To avoid root rot, ensure the soil drains well and avoid overwatering. In areas with heavy rainfall, planting Sea Grape on a slight mound can improve drainage and prevent waterlogging.

    Beautiful, healthy plant showing many growing tips, good color and well packaged.

  5. Jennifer P. (verified owner)

    Packaging was amazing and not a tiny little plant, but tall and wide, just like the picture. Delivery was so fast it actually threw me off, I wasn’t prepared. But instead of a wrapped root, it came in a standard black pot, so I was able to take my time planting. A great purchase!

  6. Christopher (verified owner)

    Plant arrived in perfect healthy condition, up North in Minnesota. I repotted it in a 12″ pot as an indoor container houseplant. 3 weeks later, it’s sprouted 3 new baby leaves! I love the quality of the plant and the care taken in it’s packaging. I will definitely buy again from Plantvine.

  7. Christian (verified owner)

  11. Orlando J. (verified owner)

    The plant is gorgeous!

  12. Craig O. (verified owner)

    The plant was packaged in a way that damaged all the new growth. There’s also what seems to be sun burning on it. The leaves were very dirty and the shipment shipped a week late.

  13. Linda Lee (verified owner)

    What an *Amazing* plant. I placed it by a window which gets a great amount of sunlight. The color coming thru the leaves from the sun is stunning! Also shows off the red ribbing. The Sea Grape arrived healthy and completely intact. It is beginning to very slowly relax – I can’t wait to see how it grows!

  14. Matthew (verified owner)

    Beautiful specimen. However, a question I had asked regarding it, has gone unanswered. On Facebook as well as through email.
