Jonna, the quote you have in your post above may not be for that palm in Tropicbreeze's post. The common screwpine here is a branched tree that makes large (melon sized) green inedible fruits that look something like a pine cone.

On the other forum, it is listed as pandanus vandemeerschii, I think. Tropic's species is pandanus spiralis, aka screwpalm. Both are really neat plants, though.

Somewhere, way back in the winter I took a picture of a screw pine fruit and used it for a holiday greeting card. . .
