It's probably a Pandanus Utilis which, if given space and right climate can grow BIG. I don't know about cooking though...

This isnt true Pandan, which lacks the serations on the leaves. Probably is P.Utilus, which is often used for roof thatching in the tropical pacific
The plant you are looking for is Pandanus amaryllifolius. Unfortunatly it is the only species with the distinctive vanilla/coconut scented leaves

I think only Pandanus amaryllifolius are used for its fragrant leaves. Another species produces a fragrant flower that are used in dishes, I don't what its called though. Are you looking for P. Amaryllifolius?

darn. Oh well, I still like it and it was cheap.

I didn't know that P. amaryllifolius had scented leaves, I thought it was just used for food coloring (neat). But after tasting pandan cake I was hoping it was the right species.

Anakleki, I have an extra pandan sucker if you want it. Send me an email, you pay for shipping.
