The Sea Grape is such a treasure. This resilient tree has evolved to thrive in coastal conditions. Its deep roots anchor it firmly in place, while its leathery leaves can withstand the salty air and intense sunlight. If you’re looking for a plant that can not only beautify your property but also withstand the elements, the Sea Grape is the perfect choice.
The Sea Grape’s flowers are small and inconspicuous, often overlooked amidst the tree’s lush foliage. They appear in clusters, typically during the spring and early summer months. These delicate blooms are a creamy white color, contrasting beautifully against the vibrant green leaves. Their texture is soft and silky, almost reminiscent of fine tissue paper. As the seasons progress, the flowers fade away, leaving behind the tree’s signature grape-like fruits.
Its foliage is one of its most striking features. The leaves are large, oval-shaped, and possess a leathery texture that lends them a rugged, coastal appearance. In the spring, young leaves often emerge with a vibrant reddish or purple hue, adding a splash of color to the tree. As the season progresses, these leaves mature to a deep, glossy green. Throughout the year, the leaves retain their leathery texture and maintain their lush green color, even during the fall months.
This plant thrives in full sun and well-drained sandy soil. Ensure the chosen location receives ample sunlight throughout the day.
To allow for adequate growth, plant this tree at least 30 feet away from other structures or trees. If planting multiple trees, maintain a spacing of 30 feet between them.
The hole should be approximately twice the size of the root ball. A depth of 2-3 feet is generally sufficient.
Carefully place the root ball into the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Fill in the gaps with soil and gently tamp down.
After planting, water the tree deeply to ensure the roots are well-hydrated. Continue to water regularly, especially during dry periods.
Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the tree can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water the tree deeply once a week, especially during the first growing season.
