Description
The iconic sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera) flanks a tidal creek in Florida's Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park.
Many tourists might think that coconut palm trees are the iconic plant of South Florida's beaches. And indeed, that may be a logical conclusion if you stick to the popular manicured beaches. But in the mind of most locals, the sea grape is the true iconic plant of South Florida's beaches and dunes. They are everywhere, as they should be! They are native, beautiful, and valuable as a dune stabilizer and wind break. They're edible, too! Some people enjoy turning the grapes into a jam, but there is a very large pit inside the fruit, so the task is cumbersome.
