Okay, I am not sure what is happening with one of my Screw Pines (Pandanas utilis). It is about 2 feet tall and seems to be trunking and branching already. This process normally takes years to begin. I can't figure it out, maybe it is just a show off. If anyone has any information about why this is happening so early I would love to hear from you. As for now here are some pictures of my show off Screw Pine (Pandanas utilis). To see my other Screw Pine posts Click Here.
I have added a 20 oz water bottle for size comparison.
Looking inside you can see the new growth forming. These will become branches.
Looking at the base it seems to be trunking already.
I hope you enjoyed this post. See you again next time and remember to share your knowledge if you know why this is happening so early.

Hi- Beautiful screw pine photo's! I am just up the road from you in Vero beach and have a screwpine "pineapple" so to speak that just a few days ago released all its seeds. I was wondering if you knew how I can store all these individual seeds so they don't rot as i am not yet ready to plant them. please advise if you get a chance! thanks, Nicole
Hi Nicole, very sorry for the delay. I have not yet figured out how to store them. It might not be a bad idea to let them just fall from the tree and do there thing. It will take a while for them to sprout and maybe you will be ready by then. Then take a pot and dig them up.
I fully realize this is almost a year after the last comment. However, i have an outstanding 25 ft.screw pine in my front lawn which has 5 main trunks which grew from only one plant. I have finally learned how to propogate these trees and have about 40 from 3 inches to two feet. It should not take them more than one year to obtain 18" height and since they have a massive root system, they should not be kept in pots more than one year before permanent planting.
