Here is a young Pandanus monotheca. The seed came from Rarepalmseeds.com, it has been in the ground since June 2006, it was about a foot tall when planted. It is native from Thailand to Malaysia. It is usually unbranched and has the lonest leaves of any Pandanus. Also, check out the photo here;

I really get thrown in trying to identify all the different pandanus species. Especially, when they're young.

I had one about the size of Miguels in my Tannum Sands garden....... The one I have here is just about to trunk. Norm has a huge one in his garden at Conway.

Looking forward to seeing Norms garden early next year ... may even be tempted to sneak down for a  pre AGM sticky beak .

Seems he has all sorts of goodies . Ben used my banana de-leafing pole to remove some of the droopy leaves on my tiny plant .

It only has about 4m of trunk . Damn those stilts are fat as .P1030489.thumb.JPG.c7c2e63b8f06b5d04efc5

Here's a pic of one at a neighbor's garden. The stilt roots are not as pronounced as in an above pic, but the plant sure is a winner.

No Peter - but I should. Next time I visit I will make a point. He is an IPS Member and PT user, but only very rarely posts - and doesn't do many pics. I'll alert him to this topic, and maybe he will share a few with us.

Btw- I feel very fortunate that he gave me a nice 15 gal size several months ago and it is growing like crazy.

Here is an update on the 3 Pandanus montheca specimens planted at Leu Gardens. Despite coming from a totally tropical native habitat, they seem to have some cold hardiness. They fared much better than the common Pandanus utilis after the cold 2009-10 winter we had.

 

This is our biggest specimen, planted June 2006. At the front of it is Pandanus pygmaeus. P. monotheca is the largest of the pandans and P. pygmaeus is the smallest.

The third one was planted Aug. 2010. It is growing under 120 year old Cinnamomum camphora trees so has been a slower grower.
