Where can I find a Pandan plant?

Does anyone know how I can acquire such a plant in a US nursery?

The closest thing to Pandan that I know of is Pandanus. Is this similar?

Do you mean the true Pandanus, from the genus of that name? Or Richea
pandanifolia.

It is the long leaf that is used in Asian/Malaysian cooking. It has a sweet
smell to it. The leaf is long (about 1.5 feet long and about 1.5 inches
wide), it ends in a point. It only goes by the name of Pandan as far as I
know. I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful to my helpers.

I don't know. It is used in Malaysian cooking.

[Synic]

It is used in Malaysian cooking,because it has a sweet smell.

[Synic]

The scientific name is: Pandanus Odoratissimus; common names are Screw
Pine, Pandang, Pandan.
Is this helpful?

I found this name in the CRFG homepage. This is the site the late Don
Gholston gave me and I still have it. I really miss that man. He was so
helpful concerning questions on this newsgroup.

Pandan is not Pandanus or a screw Pine.
I have many and I live in Singapore.
Lovely frangrance, loves moist loam, can even grow with roots in water.
Used as fragrance for cakes, rice........
Leaves can be put in drawers to discourage cockroaches.
Easy to grow in the tropics.

Pandanus odoratissimus ..Seashore Screwpine (Mengkwang, Pandan)
Pandanus dubius .. giant seashore Screwpine (Mengkwang besar)
Pandanus pymaeus ..with yellow streaks
Pandanus helicopus ..(Rasau)..almost a tree.
Pandanus odorus..(Pandan)..yammy yammy!!
(many more ornimental species)

Over here, as Yip puts it, "pandan" is almost always refered to the
culinary herbial plant P. odorus

I have used the scientific name of the plant that has culinary uses. The
common name is in English (Screw Pine--an ugly name). Maybe that is why you
think I am incorrect.

Yip, What kind of plant is it: a bush, tree? Do they grow from seed?

[Yip Kok Lok]

Actually we all never answered the original question ie where to find a
pandan in the US !
Likely to be the most tropical part of US ?

Screw Pine is a thorny tall bush (maybe 10 ft) with a stem found on
tropical seashores with a fruit like a small orange pineapple (perhaps why
it is called a pine) that is hard. Some survival books say the fruit is
edible, in case you are shipwrecked !

Pandan that I use for cooking is a big green bush 3-4 ft tall, no thorns,
no flowers, no seeds.
It propagates by runners and is easy to grow, loves sunshine but tolerates
shade.
I have been offered 2 latin names but I don't know which is right.

Pandanus odorus

I doubt that it is Pandanus odoratissimus, more likely to be
P odorus, the former may grow to 5 meter tall and have edible fruits. while the
latter is a small plant (culinary herbial) not
more than a meter even when grown in the best of conditions.

(The leaf of pandan may also be cut and folded (origama style)
into little square cups (50 to 100ml) and used for 'banana jelly',
or for that matters any jelly or agar, or puddings, for a little
added novelty and a little aroma/odorus to the snacks.

Tons of 'em here in South Florida-- variegated, yellow banded-- the
leaves are very swordlike (paper cuts) and they grow stilt roots.

Hi Arron,

I live in Southern California now and I was previously from Malaysia. I have
been searching for pandan plants for 11 years now. I did manage to bring in
some plants (e.g. curry leaves and pandan leaves plants from Malaysia a couple
of times when I returned from Malaysia but as soon as the cool weather changed,
the plants died. If you know where to get the curry leaves and pandan leaves
plants in the US...please drop me a line...thanks....liz

Hi Yip,

I was from Malaysia and now lived in Southern California for almost 12 years. I
have been searching for pandan and curry leaf plants all these times. In fact I
managed to bring in on several occasions some baby plants from Malaysia when I
returned but when the cool weather changed in US, the plants died. I've checked
with some asian growers and nurseries here in US and they said that our weather
is the main reason. These plants prefer high humidity tropical climate. Do let me
know if you are successful in finding them here in US.. Yes, I have abundance of
pandan and curry leaf plants growing near drains too back in Malaysia. regards,
liz

I am still in the tropics surrounded by Pandan !
Funny, when we are in the tropics we think how nice it would be to grow
some apples and oranges.
And now that you are in the US, you want Pandan and curry leaves !
If you let me have some self addressed , postage paid envelopes I'll send
you all you need.

Here in Manila pandan grows in backyards without special care.
It's actually grasslike, with razor-sharp edges that can inflict
'papercuts' if you're not careful. Filipinos like to boil it with rice.
My mom makes a delicious green tea with it that you can take
hot, but which I love ice cold--it's a great pick-me-up!

I'd say it'll grow anywhere with a tropical climate, so I figure
Florida should have it. I think you can grow it in a big pot or
a plastic tub.

In english we call pandan "lemon grass"--much nicer than
screw pine, don't you think?

So have we been talking about lemon grass
this whole time? I haven't been able to find
any PLANT for sale, although I have seen the
cut leaves for cooking. I've been looking for
that plant also and can't find any (I'm in
Houston).

As for whoever is looking for curry leaves,
almost any Indian store has plants for sale
in the summer. My parents have tons in their
backyard. And they still bring back more
every time they go to India (you should see
my mother trying to get through customs).

I think lemongrass is different from pandan~ lemon grass belongs to the
grass family graminae (poaceae) commonly used in thai dishes...pandan on
the other hand belongs to the screwpine family (pandanaceae) in manila we
used it when cooking rice...it does smell good...or sometimes used in sweet
delicacies with coconut...
justa a correction... I think it will thrive well in tropical countries

This post is probably long past being relevant but, I just started my search for fresh Pandan leaves and plants. Should you still read this forum please let me know if you have either or know a source.

Thank you,
Kim

[Boron Elgar]

Where are you? In the US, you can even order the plant from Amazon

[red.da...@gmail.com]

Ebay looks like a cheaper bet than amazon, in case you're still looking

Dear How are you?


It would be good and fine to have your response please read below:

1/ An investor said he has finalized with his associates and that they
will transfer 7,000,000 dollars to your account.

2/ Out of the 7,000,000 they are willing to offer you 2% of the
7,000,000 which is 140000 USD to invest in your business.

3/ He said they are ready for a transfer once you confirm
understanding of the above as partnership.

Please get back to me.
