Seagrape Or Coccoloba Uvifera Tree

Plant Bio

The Seagrape Tree (Coccoloba uvifera) is a stunning tropical evergreen that thrives beautifully in UAE gardens. Known for its broad, round, leathery leaves and clusters of grape-like fruits, this tree adds both elegance and function to outdoor landscapes. Native to coastal regions, the Seagrape is salt-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for seaside villas or gardens exposed to dry, warm winds.

This hardy tree grows into a dense, spreading canopy that provides excellent shade, making it perfect for patios, poolside areas, and garden seating spaces. The attractive fruits it produces are edible and can be used to make jams or enjoyed fresh. Its lush foliage and unique growth habit also make it a sought-after ornamental tree in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.

For best results, plant the Seagrape in well-draining sandy soil and full sun. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Pruning helps maintain its shape as a hedge, screen, or small shade tree. Pair it with other tropical plants such as palms, hibiscus, or bougainvillea for a vibrant coastal landscape.

Care Tips: Water moderately until roots establish, then reduce frequency. Fertilize seasonally for healthy growth and prune to encourage dense branching
