Notes :
The Coastal Screw Pine is supported by prop roots, that anchor it to the soil. The fruits (which resemble pineapples) are edible and an important traditional food source for Polynesian populations. Today the leaves are mostly used as flavouring for sweets, but in the past, they were largely used for house thatching and women’s
grass skirts. The common name of Screw Pine is due to the spiral arrangement of the leaves. The Hawaiian name is Hala.
