Pigeon Plum Coccoloba diversifolia 20 Seeds

Coccoloba diversifolia, commonly known as the pigeonplum, is a hardy, evergreen tree native to coastal regions of Florida, the Caribbean, and Central America, where it thrives in sandy, well-drained soils and shows remarkable tolerance to salt spray and drought. It typically grows with a straight, slender trunk and a rounded to pyramidal crown, reaching heights of 10–15 meters, and is easily recognized by its variable, glossy green leaves that range from oval to elliptic—even on the same plant—hence the species name diversifolia. New foliage often emerges with a reddish tint before maturing to deep green, adding seasonal interest. The tree produces small, fragrant, greenish-white flowers on slender racemes, followed by dangling clusters of grape-like, reddish-purple fruits that are relished by birds, especially pigeons. With its attractive bark that becomes lightly furrowed with age, its resilience to coastal conditions, and its value for wildlife, Coccoloba diversifolia is a versatile ornamental choice for seaside landscapes, parks, and restoration plantings.
