Well it certainly is NOT a Viagra Tree.

Needs Viagra Fertilizer!

Why do you think they call them "roots".

reddad35 · « **Reply #6 on:** November 26, 2008, 10:50:13 AM »

That is one STRONG tree. I would think the trees growing near this one have a complex of sorts.

My guess is peckerwood.

And obviously it's some sort of nut bearing tree......

I would sure love to ID that bugger. Maybe Tammie in Hawaii can. The photo looks like Hawaii.
If I can plant one id do it on the "sperm of the moment!"

Jerry, that looks like a Pandanus, probaby Pandanus utilis. Funnily enough it's called the Screw Pine!

I never thought of it that way. It's named due to the spiral way it grows. Here's a type on left and variegated on right in front of my friend's house in Leilani Estates, Big Island HI. They do grow in California too. The leaves have serations that will slice you up.

...and if you like stilt roots.....here's a funny one from a Verschafeltii splendida. My wife took this picture at our friend Bo's house, also in Leilani Estates, Big Island, HI. They do not grow in CA, but will in South Florida.

MattyB · « **Reply #12 on:** November 26, 2008, 01:53:15 PM »

Here's another shot I took of a Pandanus. You can see the screwing habit of the new growth. Oh brother, did I actually just say that? Stop laughing, I'm serious!!!!!!!!

Hi Matt, I was going to call your attention to this thread. I have seen a lot of Pandanus, but never saw those uhh uhh appendages?
As a boy I loved Jack London and he mentioned them often.
I had a place in Kailua-Kona. The grounds were covered with Screw Pine.

My wife wants to know where she can get the seeds for this tree. I don't know why.

MattyB · « **Reply #15 on:** December 01, 2008, 11:37:32 AM »

Jerry,
My Uncle lives up Mauka at about 2000 feet in Kailua-Kona on Hao st. It's similar to a cloud forest environment, very cool. Here we are catching a nice rain storm one day. The large palms are Clinostigma samoense.

that tree must be a killer on batteries.

MattyB · « **Reply #17 on:** December 01, 2008, 03:56:04 PM »

...because people take so many pictures of it? ...oh wait, I get it....I think. $:-\$

not sure but your name is missing a couple of letters Pandanus UNITilis is more like it.
