This Sea Grape is an evergreen flowering tree in the buckwheat family that has large, round, leathery leaves with a primary vein that has a red color extending from the base and the entire leaf turns red as it ages. This Sea Grape is native to the Caribbean and tropical America. The bark is smooth and yellowish. In late summer it bears green fruit ( 0.75) in diameter, in large, grade-like clusters. The fruit gradually ripens to a purplish color. Each contains a pit that constitutes most of the fruit. Great for indoors. Be sure to keep warm and in a sunny location.
