Coccoloba Uvifera: Seagrape Coccoloba uvifera is a species of flowering plant in the buckwheat family, reaching to heights of 30 ft, native to coastal beaches throughout tropical America and the Carribean. In late summer, it bears fruits in large, grapelike clusters (hence its name), which usually ripen to a purple color. Coccoloba uvifera is a popular ornamental plant in south Florida yards. It serves as a dune stabilizer and protective habitat for small animals. Tall sea grape plants behind beaches help prevent sea turtles from being distracted by lights from nearby buildings. The sap has been used for dyeing and tanning leather. The wood has occasionally been used in furniture, as firewood, or for making charcoal. The fruits of the sea grape may be eaten raw, cooked into jellies and jams, or fermented into sea grape wine.
