Narrative
Ocean View is an upright, salt tolerant shrub which is densely branched. On sand dunes the lower branches are often buried by shifting sand and roots begin to develop from the branches, this is known as layering. From this layering effect, beach plum can spread up to 6 m. In a sand dune environment, this shrub rarely exceeds 2.1 m height, while inland it can reach heights of up to 5.5 m. Ocean View has pale green foliage with alternate leaf and branching character. The serrated leaves are elliptical to ovate in shape; they range from 3.8 cm to 6.4 cm long and half as wide. The underside of the leaves is covered with fine hairs and paler above while the upper surface in rough and ridged. In early spring, before the leaf buds break, axillary clusters of snowy-white blooms emerge. These flowers are 0.6 cm to 1.9 cm in diameter, and cover the actively growing crown of the shrub. Prior to falling off, these flowers take on a pink hue. At about the time the flowers drop off, the leaves emerge, protecting the developing fruit. The edible purplish-black to red fruit are 1.3 - 1.9 cm in diameter; they are covered with a heavy, white, waxy film to protect them from fungi and disease. The single pit, contained inside the drupe type fruit, is truncate at the base, ovate and swollen. The fruit ripens on the shrub from August to October, but sometimes remains on the plant in the form of a raisin well into the winter months.
