The figure above is a Sea-Grape tree. Our group encountered this tree when we went to the beach. This tree is native to Florida and of the Tropical Americas, as well. This tree is commonly related to the coral vine and pigeon-plum. it can grown to be a large shrub or a large tree depending on the surrounding nature. This plant forms long clusters of grape-like fruit that has a sort or acidic flavor.
