Origin: Madagascar, Mauritius
Growth Habits: Branched evergreen shrub to 20 feet tall (6 m)

Culture:
Fertilizer is generally not necessary. Trimming a screw pine is tricky because branches don't have dormant buds. If you cut the terminal growing area, the branch will not grow anymore, it will stay a a stump. For this reason, cut the branches you need to cut where they will be the least noticeable.
Propagation:
Seeds should not be covered, they should be placed face up in the growing medium at a temperature of at least 80°F (27°C). They germinate in 2 to 3 months.
