Sea Grape

The Sea grape has very broad, round , thick leaves, 20-30 cm wide. When immature, the foliage is vibrant red in colour and, as they age, they change colour until they are green laced with red veins. The plant blooms with flowers of ivory to white, which grow in clusters on short stalks. The resulting fruit also grows in clusters and can be white or purple. Only female plants produce fruit but so having ,multiple plantings increases the chance of fruiting. An extremely unusual and beautiful plant even if not grown for the fruit.
