WHOLESALE PANDANUS PALM NURSERIES
Pandanus pedunculatus or Coastal Screw Pine and Pandanus spiralis or Screw Pine are used as specimen plants or trees and are well suited to coastal areas. They are grown widely in Darwin and other areas in the Northern Territory as well as in Queensland. With the attraction of providing a ‘Tropical Look’ and a tough nature they are well suited the climate.
Most species will reach 10m in height over time and in any area of reliable summer rain they thrive. New foliage appears at the top, and a skirt of old foliage forms below.
P. pedunculatus is widely grown and will send down extra roots as props.
Pandanus Palms are hardy evergreen trees with multiple heads and sharp foliage. Red Edged Pandanus or P. utilis is an attractive plant originally from Madagascar and nearby areas.
P. spiralis is known as the ‘Screw Pine’ because of the nature of its trunk which looks a little like a screw. It is native to the northern parts of Queensland.
Other Pandanus species include
- P. cookii – A species best grown in wet tropical climates.
- P.tectorius – Widely grown and the foliage is used for weaving.
- P. gemmifer – From the Daintree Rainforest
Problems
- As they become larger not much will grow beneath them.
- They need to be planted away from paths as the leaves are serrated.
- They have a habit of dropping foliage
