Does anyone recognize this "fruit"? I saw it at the local zoo but the only sign nearby claimed it was an American Pineapple. The tree looked like it was from the palm family. I am pretty good at identifying flora but this one has me stumped.
Pandanus. There are different kinds of pandanus plants. In the Pacific Islands the fruit of some species are edible. Fruit is ready when it's bright orange. The leaves are used for handicrafts, such as weaving mats,baskets, hand fans etc.
