Description
Roots of the common screw palm.
The screw palm or screw pine is native to the Northern territories of Australia, this is not a pine or a palm - though it has a somewhat palm-like appearance. The plant grows very well in near tropical South Florida. This sample happens to be in my backyard
It's best used as a single specimen and given plenty of room because as it matures, a screw pine can take up 10 to 15 feet (or more) of space.
This accent tree grows in a giant swirly pattern, with old leaf scars encircling the stems - hence the screw in its common name.
The plant bears pineapple-like unique fruits borne on female plants that are sun-grown. They're edible and very pretty.
A mature tree has a bushy top with leaf scars forming a circular pattern, and aerial roots lift that the whole thing out of the ground. The roots keep the tree propped up and stable during strong winds and tropical rains.
