Screw Pine
Screw Pine, scientifically known as Pandanus, is a tropical plant found in coastal regions of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. It features long, narrow leaves that grow in a spiral pattern, resembling a screw, which gives the plant its name. The leaves are often used for weaving mats, baskets, and other handicrafts.
The plant produces unique, pineapple-like fruit clusters that are not commonly eaten but are important for local wildlife. Screw Pine thrives in sandy soils and can tolerate saltwater, making it well-suited for coastal environments. Its distinctive appearance and adaptability make it a valuable part of many ecosystems.
