Lin, it is a Screw Pine or Palm. I grew it from seed.

Screw Pine (Pandanus tectorius)

Unfortunately I think it is now dying from an infection of a flatid insect known as the Pandanus Planthopper (Jamella australiae). It is a big job for me to save it and I am unsure how to go about it. The leaf hopper is a native to north Queensland but it is kept in check there by a parasitic wasp.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
