Coccoloba diversifolia - Pigeon Plum

Add item to quote to see pricing

Coccoloba diversifolia is a marvelous tree map of Mother Nature's designs. Commonly called the Pigeon Plum, it punctuates Florida's coastal shores, standing as a testament to the harmony of strength and grace. Exhibiting an impressive height of up to 38 feet, this large-scale spectacle is veiled in thick elliptical leaves that dynamically shift from a bronzy-pink to a lustrous dark green with the passing of seasons. Tiny, while somewhat modest white flowers emerge sporadically, later giving way to robust round purple fruits acting like a beacon for local wildlife. Not known for thirst, it comfortably thrives under low to moderate water conditions and can readily soak up full sun or rest in partial shade. Its tolerance to diverse soils and resilience against salt spray make it particularly appealing for coastal or urban environments. The Pigeon Plum's versatility, adaptive prowess, and pulsating color play make it an invaluable asset for vibrant and sustainable landscapes.
