When is the season for sea grapes? I have never ate them. I did get to try the seeds from the pancakes in April. They were picked from Great Pond and were very good. Sea Grapes look gooood.

This is why we need to keep the beach land open so we cna enjoy many more pictures like these

Those are sea grapes. You still can go grape hunting just enter onto the beach through one of the public lanes and walk and enjoy those grapes.

If a part of the grape tree is hanging over private property that is fenced off then, do not go on to that property without owner's permission.

It is no difference than a Mango or Pear ect,ect, Tree hanging over a fence.Pick the ones on your side of your property and leave the other side alone unless you have a good kind neighbour who do not care if you come over to their land and help yourselves.

I am hoping that some culinary expert might be interested in trying out the recipes.

Sea grape is highly tolerant of salt spray and salty soils as well as strong sun and wind. It is often planted as a windbreak near beaches and as a hedge or barrier around shopping centers and parking lots. Sea grape makes a fine shade tree .
You won't see too many of these unless you live in a tropical area because the tree is unable to survive frost. However, it is moderately tolerant of shade, and highly tolerant of salt, so it is often planted to stabilize beach edges and prevent erosion; it is also planted as an ornamental shrub. The fruit can be used for jam or "seaside wine) and it attracts fruit loving birds.

SEA GRAPE TREE
They are very hardy, can get quite tall and make great shade. You may not recognize it, however. It is a sprawling bush or small tree that is found near sea beaches throughout tropical America and the Caribbean, including southern Florida. It reaches a maximum height of 8 meters (24 feet), but most specimens are little more than 2 meters tall. It has large, round, leathery leaves with a primary vein that has a red color extending from the base, and the entire leaf turns red as it gets ready to drop from the tree. The bark is smooth and light colored. In late summer it bears purplish fruit, about 2 cm in diameter, in large grape-like clusters.

The fruit itself is grape like although a bit tougher than the ordinary grape and it has one large seed as opposed to several small ones. They remain green and hard for a long time but eventually one by one they change to their mature deep purple color. They hang in bunches, each one with a single seed, and are about the size of regular grapes. When fully mature, they become soft and have a sweet-sour taste making them great for use in jams and jellies. It is possible to make an alcoholic beverage made from the grapes, similar to wine.

Factoid: If Miss Clarke were to plant the seeds in her cup. She will be eating from her seagrape trees in a few years. Her children will be sitting on the limbs.

I grew sea grape inland in dry Kingston, they loved it.

I hope Miss Clarke remember to plant lots of grape trees for her grandkids.
