Question
  This past summer while visiting my best friend in south eastern fla., I came across sea grape plants / trees stretched along the top of sand dunes at a beach. I picked up some of the grapes brought them home here in southern
Maryland with the idea of planting them.  Or do I have to open the fruit (they each have a 1/8 inch or so stem) to reach the actual seed.  What little I have read about the Sea Grape has not shed any light on the likelihood of these seeds ever germinating.  What would be the best soil conditions for planting these seeds.  Many Thanks, Paul

Answer
Hi Paul, sea grapes are usually pollinated by cuttings,but the seeds will germinate easily; normally here in Florida we sow them in the fall, but you can sow them in a pot and they will germinate just fine (take them out of the fruit and dry them first)..regards Nick
