PROUD PANADANUS
It's not possible to visit the beaches along the Noosa coast and miss the bold and prominent pandanus!
Pandanus tectorius aka 'screw pine' is a striking tree with a distinctive shape that is brilliant for a feature in any coastal garden. It is hardy and will tolerate most soils but will love a sandy, poor, well-drained soil, full sun, and doesn't even mind an exposed position with salt spray!
Well known for its distinctive aerial stilt roots that help anchor itself, and large orange/red fruits that are edible. The fibrous leaves of the screw pine are also edible and can be used for weaving and thatching.
An extremely low maintenance small tree to 6m that would be the talking point of any garden. And what better way to acknowledge our amazing local biosphere by taking home a pandanus for your garden today.
Come on into the Hinter Hub to check out our Pandanus tectorius, propagated in Pomona from seed harvested ethically along our Noosa coastline. We'd love to see you!
The Hinter Hub is open Monday to Friday 8.30am-3.30pm and Saturday 8am-1.30pm.
