Pandanus pedunculatus
Pandanus are iconic coastal plants producing dramatic spiralling leaf arrangements on prop-rooted stems. Genuinely salt-hardy and wind-tolerant, they are the definitive coastal feature plant for beachfront, dune, and exposed coastal projects. Available in advanced sizes up to 1000L.
Specifier notes. Holds its own as a standalone feature where form and presence matter more than mass.
Site & establishment. Tolerates coastal exposure provided the planting hole drains and soil is not waterlogged. Salt tolerance is high enough for direct salt-laden wind exposure once established. Recognisable form — used where the plant itself is part of the visual identity.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
