Do mangroves bloom?
Small, yellow flowers blossom on red mangroves and are pollinated by wind. The seeds then sprout roots while still on the tree. After a few months, the seed drops to the ground and can immediately begin to grow. Seeds that drop into the water float along until they reach a suitable area to put down their roots.
Do mangrove grow fruits?
Once germinated, the seedling grows either within the fruit (e.g. Aegialitis, Avicennia and Aegiceras), or out through the fruit (e.g. Rhizophora, Ceriops, Bruguiera and Nypa) to form a propagule (a ready-to-go seedling) which can produce its own food via photosynthesis.
