who is growing Pandanus utilis?

[doranakandawatta]

From seeds, I really ignore how it becomes, can you post your pictures?

[KrisKupsch]

grows easily.

pity it looses it's red edge once larger. 

Seems to get some leaf issues in wet cool weather...maybe a fungus ?

they look great when cleaned up & their prop roots are showy

I have one Pandanus and was matked Utilis. One gallone four years ago. Needs to be cleaned up but its kind of a pianful proccess

It is a lovely Pandanus but it is just such a sook.............. It hates wet feet and dies when burnt to remove dead leaves. I sprayed a paper wasp nest on one once with flyspray and it turned up its toes !!!

This species does very well in California- here's a couple shots... one large one in Santa Barbara, and a few shots of my seedling which grew easily even in the San Fernando Valley where the weather is not that great (super hot sometimes and really cold sometimes).

Fresh seeds germinated 90% and within 2 months.

I had fresh seeds off my own tree 10 months ago.... not 1 germination yet?

Has been our winter here for 4 months and I didn't apply heat to them so I haven't given up hope yet

Pandanus utilis is dioecious so possibly the female cone hasn't been fertilized.
