How to Prune Seagrape?
(Coccoloba uvifera)
Seagrape, also known as Platter leaf
A distinctive coastal specimen known for its broad, rounded leaves and edible fruit clusters, seagrape thrives with minimal care. Pruning should focus on removing dead or damaged wood, shaping to control size, and enhancing air circulation. Timing is crucial; perform cuts during the dormant winter months to minimize stress. Pruning stimulates healthy growth, may improve fruit production, and reduces disease risk by increasing sunlight penetration and air flow within the canopy.
