Anyone noted these fantastic plants before

Taken in Playa De Las Americas-Tenerife in November.
Coccoloba Uvifera -Tropical Sea grape-They were 'dripping with bunches of seeds'



Appears the link to my website isn't working -here's the direct link to the page.

Palmking

 

They are fantastic Palmate. What are they planted in? No sign of any growing medium.

 

I've been growing a few for a while palmate.
Cant say that I find them the easiest of plants to grow here, I dont think they like the dull winter months, and take a long time to recover in spring.
I think they tend to grow on the beach in sand, mainly around the Carribean.

 

Did you grow it from seed pete ?

Nice looking plant, what form can they ultimately grow into ?

 

Enormous bananas. Yes. Definitely. Enormous bananas.

 

Yup, from seed BM, I dont regard it as a good grower over here.
I'm not that well up on them, but I think they can become treelike in the tropics.
Mine grow fast but only for a short period each year so overall growth is slow, the lower leaves also drop, which can make them a bit leggy.
