Coccoloba sp. "Black pearls"

This rare Coccoloba species from Colombia is a striking wild relative of the better-known Coccoloba uvifera (sea grape), bearing abundant dangling clusters of glossy berries that ripen from vibrant red to deep black. The plant forms a shrubby or small tree habit, thriving in tropical conditions and producing fruit directly along its arching branches. Its visually appealing racemes resemble strings of black pearls, making it a beautiful and productive candidate for food forests or native fruit collections. While the flavor profile is still being evaluated, the fruit's visual appeal, clustering habit, and likely tart-sweet taste suggest strong potential for local use and botanical curiosity
