I grew up in Miami and ate seagrape off the vine in my yard. They were ready when they were red! I live in zone 9A (Texas) and planted this year pomegranate, loquats, and a sea grape tree. Loved growing up eating wild fruit.
That makes two of us. I also live in 9B in Central Florida and just planted a loquat tree this year myself, have sea grapes growing in my yard, lots of citrus trees, and a guava tree. Im currently trying my hand at getting some avocado trees to grow from seeds, I’m sure they will require grafting, but they are free and what do I have to lose?
@@cwestern08 that’s awesome! You are lucky to get them! They cost a fortune if you enjoy eating them as much as we do in season. It’s not much to sprout a seed. I’m doing mine in a dark cupboard and I’m about ready to put them in soil now. It’s worth a try!
I live in the the Lower Keys and we have a love hate relationship of these plants. They are easy to grow and make a wonderful privacy barrier, but they can be a pain for maintenance down here at least.
I live in Trinidad and Tobago located in the Caribbean and the sea grapes are eaten fresh. Note: If you ever find sea grapes by the sea, soaking them in some sea water, makes them taste even better!!!
In puerto rico we eat them straight off the vine and they taste amazing. Better to wait till they're either on the floor or very dark though, because if they aren't ripe they can taste bitter
As a kid in Satellite Beach Florida, we lived on Flamingo Drive, right across the street form Highway A-1 and these grew wild everywhere. I would eat the grapes right off the vine. So Delicious ! We moved away to land locked New Mexico. No one could ever tell me what I was eating until 40 years later.
I’m in melbourne fl and have this in my backyard, along with other tropical plants. Unfortunately I’ve noticed the leaves getting smaller and spotted. Trying to find some TH-cam videos to revive it. It’s very mature and was here when we moved into this house in 2019.
Hello, nice video. I'd love to know what i can do to keep the bugs, grasshoppers etc from eating the new leaves. My plants are trying to grow but the new leaves don't have a chance.Thanks jcooper
Sir you knows not what your talking about, theirs no special was to prepare sea grapes before you eat them, they can. Be eaten right from the tree, I was born and raised in the caribbean, when it is grape season lots of my friends and I will go to a specific peach in out village and pick bags of them, well will stuff our faces while filling our bags to take more home for our family. The are not eaten like table grapes, so you pop one in your mouth and start chewing like table grapes, first off like most fruits in the tropics they have a large seed, so they are not flashy like table grapes, the way to eT them, is to pop on in your mouth and while inside the mouth, you use your teeth to gently peel the skin off oh the seed chew the flesh while keeping the seed still in your mouth, then roll the seed around like you would a candy till its clean then you can even crush the seed slightly and take a little time to get the meat out of the sees that king of the inside of a coconut.
We have them in Barbados and they’re eaten when ripe they turn kinda purple and are sweet hardly ever sour no preparation required other than maybe a good wash . Because they’re grown mainly by the seaside they are hardly harvested in a way that man interferes . So you will have no chemicals no unnatural fertilizers .
How is the root system? I’m in South Florida and we have them next to our pool. We are worried that the roots will eventually ruin the pool. Any thoughts?
As they are good for stabilizing dunes I'd be wary as you are of the roots impacting your pool structure. That said your pool superstructure with reinforcement is likely much less threatened than the Cool deck or pavers.
@@EarthWorksJax Our pool and pool deck is poured concrete. Maybe it will be okay. We don't have structural damage and the trees are mature with good size trunks but severely cut back now. My husband is afraid that eventually it will be a problem.
They are eaten fresh, off the tree once they are purple in color n soft to touch. They may be picked green, once at full size n left to ripen, in warm temperatures.
Now is the time to harvest sea grapes here in vero beach Florida. When they turn red I eat them right off the vine. Tasty but the seed is very big and only a little bit of edible flesh. I spit the seed out or I plant them right away since these seeds do not store well and need to be plants right away if you wish to grow your own.. Takes 2-4 years before they produce fruit and you need male and female plants to produce fruits
We don't have that exact answer but did find this link about collecting and storing seagerap seeds. gardenofedengardencenter.com/how-to-grow-sea-grapes-from-seeds
Yes you can eat them off the tree, as kids in the Bahamas we picked them and ate them off the tree. We had Seagrape trees growing up over 20 feet which we climbed to get the big juicy sweet ones🤤😋😎
Hi Jax, I would like to link your video to a video i am working on. My channel is small but i am mentioning sea grapes and I'd like to offer a collaboration trade with you.
Thats what I keep hearing and reading. I have yet to come across a male seagrape tree. I planted over 50 seagrape seeds, they all bore fruit. Never seen a male.
No you don't, I new lots of people who only have one tree in their yards and the bears fruits. The trunk of the tree and stems are very hard wood but the branches are soft and easy to break

@@mommyharris1111 avocados! My mom sends them from home and they are huge from her yard...I need to look into grafting .

@@mommyharris1111 Avocado requires grafting to get exactly what you need otherwise you may end up with something you won't enjoy at all.
How are your sea grapes? We just planted some here in our yard in central Florida as well! Zone 9b

I'm from St. Lucia & we have a lot of sea grapes & they taste so sweet. Also great for making wine.
I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and we eat them fresh off the trees at the beach. We make preserves, wines, jellies and jams with them.

Thank you for the tip Ternisha!
How long do you soak them for?
@@stevenbarnes9597 you can soak them for approximately 3-5 minutes.
Yep some in Grenada 🇬🇩 fresh off the tree
My father used to go toco beach and get them to make wine and we ate half of them before we got home😀
Beautiful plant!
In puerto rico we eat them straight off the vine and they taste amazing. Better to wait till they're either on the floor or very dark though, because if they aren't ripe they can taste bitter
Picked one up today.. I saw the tall one in the back.. Nice!
Thank you T.LaMore!

Вкусняшка. Ел зрелый на побережье Кубы. На вкус близко к обычному винограду, только с одной большой косточкой.
Why did he say we can't eat them raw off the tree ? hopefully he corrects this, maybe in his description
The sea grapes can be eaten right from the tree. No processing needed.
How do you propagate them?
They were everywhere in dayronab

Sorry for the delayed response Josie. Diatomaceous earth is one option for grasshoppers.
Thank you for the response.jcooper
They don't take frost right
It can grow indoors ? Like a ficus lyrata?
Best grown outdoors in full sun.
:)
@@matthewbarlow794 okau thankyou
I have seagrapes in our balcony that barely gets sunlight (except during the months jun and jul) and it’s thriving. It’s now also bearing fruits.
I live in California I want these trees

Same
is sea grape could grow here in Philippines as tropical?
Hello, nice vedio, I hope to work with you in your plant nursery because I love working with plants, even for free I don't have problem
i guess it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch new series online ?
@Jaiden Vicente lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Aiden Kylo yup, I've been watching on FlixZone for since april myself :)
@Aiden Kylo Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!!

You don't need to process sea grapes. They full of antioxidants and they should be eaten when they're ripe and fresh.

How long do the seeds stay viable for ?
We don't have that exact answer but did find this link about collecting and storing seagerap seeds. gardenofedengardencenter.com/how-to-grow-sea-grapes-from-seeds
Do all the leaves fall ?
They are evergreen, but they can freeze and then come back
I actually do love to eat them fresh off the vine!
He forgot to mention that see grape trees shed and when I say shed I mean ALOT
Yes you can eat them off the tree, as kids in the Bahamas we picked them and ate them off the tree. We had Seagrape trees growing up over 20 feet which we climbed to get the big juicy sweet ones🤤😋😎
They are delicious.
For the record they’re eaten fresh when they turn purple they’re sweet and ripe
I eat them straight from the tree great results
We eat them here in the Caribbean straight from the tree.
Hi Jax, I would like to link your video to a video i am working on. My channel is small but i am mentioning sea grapes and I'd like to offer a collaboration trade with you.
👌🙋🇵🇱
We use to eat seagrapes right off the bunch when they are ripe...right here in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Nothing about processing to eat.
We eat them off the tres in the carribean
do you ship?
Sorry, but no rini rain.
I have eaten them fresh from a beach in Puerto Rico
Daytona
You can eat them raw. When they turn purple.
I believe you have to have a male and a female plant to get fruit 🍎
Thats what I keep hearing and reading. I have yet to come across a male seagrape tree. I planted over 50 seagrape seeds, they all bore fruit. Never seen a male.
No you don't, I new lots of people who only have one tree in their yards and the bears fruits. The trunk of the tree and stems are very hard wood but the branches are soft and easy to break
If ripe they can be eaten of the tree. Just wash them.
Doesn't tell you how you can eat them. Waste of time.
Eat them off the vine when ripe!
