This
particular Pandanus is like a jumbo spider plant on steroids. Its leaves broaden with age,
and its variegation changes from pinstripes in youth to a watercolor-like gradation, the
distal ends of the leaves turning a uniform, ivory white. Creating a striking landscape
effect wherever it is used, the Variegated Screw Pine creates a tropical landscape effect
wherever it is used. It has an open multi-branched silhouette and can grow to 40 foot in
height and can spread 12-30 feet. Grown as an exotic landscape specimen in frost-free
zones, trees will experience leaf burn at below 28 F. The Hawaiian Screw Pine is a medium
to fast grower and can tolerate light drought, and salt spray. An exotic tropical species
from Polynesia that produces a robust, stilt-rooted trunk and a thick densely spiraling
crown of mildly spiny light green and often yellow/white striped leaves with very
attractive red margins. Variegated Screw Pine has a pyramidal, sometimes irregular, open,
but much-branched silhouette, the smooth, stout trunks topped with full, graceful heads of
long, thin leaves, three feet long and three inches wide, emerging spirally from stubby
branches.
The
yellow-green foliage color adds to the striking nature of this exotic tree. Pandanus
veitchii also makes a stunning container plant for indoors or out. The saw toothed
leaves are similar to those of a pineapple plant and emerge spirally from the stilt raised
trunk to create a spectacular tropical effect. Small plants are tough and easy to grow and
will grow for anybody. Striking plant with long sword-shaped leaves produced in a spiral
rosette. As a trunk forms the tree will branch to form several heads, eventually giving a
very regular conical specimen plant about 40 feet tall and wide if space allows. Suitable
for the home or a greenhouse. |
Pandanus veitchii is a small
tree growing 20 to 40 feet in height and from 15 to 35 feet in diameter. The trunk is
stout and the branches grow at wide angles to it. It has distinctive long blade-like
leaves (lau hala) about 2 inches wide and over 2 feet long. Most varieties have
spines along the edges and on the midribs of the leaves. Spineless and variegated forms
are available. The leaves are spirally arranged towards the ends of the branches and leave
a spiral pattern on the trunk when they fall. Pandanus veitchii trees develop
support or prop roots (ule hala) at the base of the trunk and sometimes along the
branches. It has a stout, wide-branching trunk ringed with many leaf scars. Screw pines
received their common name from the fact that the strap-like leaves are spirally arranged
around the branches.
As screw pines grow larger, they
produce prop roots around the base of trunk. These roots act as anchors and aid in keeping
the screw pines upright during times of heavy winds and rain. Pandanus is known for the
many thick prop roots near its base which provide support as the tree grows top-heavy with
leaves, fruit, and branches. Sometimes, though, the lower trunk is injured and decays,
leaving the screw pine standing on its prop roots.

The
leaves are used to make mats and baskets in the tropics. These leaves are tough
which makes them useful for thatching, mats, and baskets. Branches have prominent leaf
scars which encircle the stems. Large brace-roots emerge from the trunk several feet above
the ground, helping to support the plant. Screw-Pine is capable of reaching 50 feet in
height but is not usually seen over 25 feet in USDA hardiness zone 10 and 11, with a
spread of 15 feet. Growth rate is slow to moderate, depending upon fertilization and
watering schedules, and Screw-Pine is very popular for use as a specimen or container
planting. But pines they are not; these odd plants are monocots, related to grasses,
orchids, and palms. It is not a true pine tree; it is a member of the Pandanaceae family.
|
P. veitchii makes an outstanding
houseplant, as it tolerates dry air and infrequent watering. It should be summered
outdoors, when moved indoors situated close to a large east window. It will never fruit
(according to ufl.edu's profile) and should stay within 10' as a container plant.

COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
See
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for all items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

Seller warrants seed to be of the variety and quantity advertised.
Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes. |
