Pigeon-plum
Coccoloba diversifolia
Pigeon-plum is a handsome tropical tree native to the Caribbean that adapts well to coastal landscapes, tolerating salt spray and varied soil conditions. Plant in a sunny to partly shaded location with well-draining soil and water consistently while the tree establishes, then reduce frequency once mature. It produces small grape-like fruits attractive to birds, making it a great choice for wildlife-friendly subtropical gardens.
