A Yard In Fort Pierce

We finally made it back to our secret spot after 2 very long weeks. Our intentions on returning to the infamous Coccoloba uvifera 'Albo-variegata' or the Variegated Sea Grape were to attempt to Air Layer a few pieces. We brought our Air Layering kit that was packed with clear plastic bags, black plastic bags, root hormone, sphagnum moss, twisty ties, water, and the trusty old pocket knife. In about thirty minutes we were able to Air Layer 6 branches. If you want to see more pictures of the infamous Coccoloba uvifera 'Albo-variegata' or the Variegated Sea Grape then click here. The following pictures are of the Air Layering ( Variegated Sea Grape ) Project.

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!

Huge Discovery!! This past weekend Brandan and myself were at a buddies house who owns loads of property. We had a few drinks and decided to go and explore the territory. For many many months now we have been searching for the infamous Coccoloba uvifera 'Albo-variegata' or the Variegated Sea Grape. This is one of the rarest forms of variegation. We must have looked at a million different Sea Grape Trees with no luck.

As we were on our adventure we could see up in the distance that there was something not right about the patch of vegetation we were approaching. To our extreme surprise it was the infamous Variegated Sea Grape ( Coccoloba uvifera 'Albo-variegata' ). We were speechless, we did it!! We found it!! This is a huge discovery for us and I want to share it with you. Here are some pictures of the new discovery.

This first picture is of me standing by the Variegated Sea Grape.

This second picture is of the regular Sea Grape next to the Variegated Sea Grape to show you the difference between the two.

And the following pictures are of the clippings I came home with. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Thank you for stopping by. Hope to see you soon!!

My best score yet!! I have heard of this plant for quite some time now and have been very unsuccessful in finding it. This is the variegated Sea Grape ( Coccoloba uvifera ). Sea Grape grows every where around here and I have been looking at every one I see and never see a variegated one. This form of Sea Grape is extremely rare!!

Well I have found one at the Heathcote Botanical Sale that was held this past weekend in Fort Pierce, Fl. at the Heathcote Botanical Gardens. This extremely rare plant came with a hefty price tag. Me and my buddy Brandan from Another Yard In Fort Pierce split it, and we will air layer it to get two plants out of it. It is well worth it since I believe that we are the only two people in town that have this very rare plant!!

Here are the pictures of the beautiful Variegated Sea Grape ( Coccoloba uvifera ). Enjoy!!
