Sea plum hybrid description

Coccoloba Uvifera x Diversifolia is an artificial sea plum hybrid. The common name is Sea plum,  it formed by crossing pigeon plum (c. diversifolia) and sea grape (c. Uvifera). Also, it is presumed to have occurred in Florida. Sea plum reaches 6 to 8 feet (2.44 m) in height. Both parent species reach heights of up to 30 feet (9.14 m) and thus Sea plum may grow taller. Sea plum’s crown is dense and grows in an upright triangular  or oval shape. Its leaves are larger than those of Pigeon plum and resemble the texture of the Sea Grape leaf. Sea Plum is also highly salt tolerant like both parent species. It also has a high Salt wind tolerance and good drought tolerance. Like its parents it enjoys full sun to partial shade and dry to moist soils.
