Field Notes

Description:

Tree growing on the seaside. Trunk is unbranched and thin. Leaves are thin and long. The fruit is large and bright red.

Habitat:

I saw this red splash on the sand and ran towards it ...the fruit had spilt on impact but even on the tree it was something new for me.

Thank you, Machi. I had heard about the Pandanus palm but never seen one before.
