Fun fact: This coastal shrub has a clever "salt survival" trick it can excrete excess salt through special glands on its leaves, allowing it to thrive in salty environments like mangrove edges and sandy beaches. But that’s not all! Its plum-like fruits float in water, which helps them disperse via ocean currents to colonize new shorelines🪴🌊. The fruit is edible and was a favorite snack of Indigenous peoples and early settlers, and was sometimes even used to make jams and wines. Meanwhile, its dense thickets provide critical habitat for beach-nesting birds and small wildlife. 🐦
