Black Mangroves. The Black mangrove s real name is Avicennia germinans. Just like other mangrove trees, they also provide a home for fish, birds and other wildlife as well as protect the coast and the coral reefs. The Black mangrove got its name because of the colour of its wood, dark brown to nearly black.lack mangroves also produce seeds with mangrove saplings. They are not pencil-shaped like the propagules of the Red mangrove. Instead, they are small and oval. But they can also float for long periods before the sapling roots.
