the United Nursery Red Tip Cocoplum (Chrysobalanus icaco ‘Red Tip’). This hardy, native tropical shrub is a favorite for its stunning color transition—new leaves emerge in a vibrant, fiery red before maturing into a deep, glossy emerald green. Arriving at 18–24 inches tall in a 10-inch plant pot, it provides an immediate burst of color and serves as the perfect foundation for a lush, year-round privacy hedge or garden accent. Native to Florida and the Caribbean, the Red Tip Cocoplum is built to withstand the toughest conditions. It is exceptionally salt-tolerant and drought-resistant once established, making it the gold standard for coastal properties and low-maintenance landscaping. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts beautifully to sandy soils, ensuring your garden stays vibrant and full even in demanding environments. Designed for density, this bushy evergreen grows into a thick, protective screen that can reach 6–10 feet tall and wide at maturity. Whether you are looking to create a natural property border, a windbreak, or a decorative backdrop for your patio, the Cocoplum offers reliable, dense coverage that maintains its beauty throughout the seasons. Ideal for USDA Hardiness Zones 9–11, the Red Tip Cocoplum is a sustainable choice for homeowners who want a "no-fuss" tropical aesthetic. Its resilient nature and striking red tips make it a thoughtful housewarming or gardener’s gift. Sustainably grown and ready for the ground or large containers, it’s a high-impact solution for a greener, more private outdoor sanctuary.
