| #1 looks like a Pandanus(screw pine). If it has spines, it's a p. veitchi, without spines p. baptistii. #2 is a Beautyberry. #3 is a Devil's Backbone( pedilanthus tithymaloides) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Screw pine

| REGINE - THANKS FOR THE REPLY - no spines on first and it was delivered to me very small and attached to the large root shown in the pick - it has been a joy just watching it grow. The beautyberry is awesome however I am not sure what to do - plant, keep in pot, either or??? I am truly a rookie! Devil's Backbone - I just got from a neighbor that dug it up in an over grown area. It almost looks fake! Very tiny pink flowers emerging on the tips of the branches. Is it a climber? Where can I find info on it as to types of soil, light requirements, feeding, etc. LMK - thanks again |

| If #1 is screw pine it's leaves will emit fragrance if crushed. Secondly it is delivered as large root as you have posted. |

| I would plant the Beautyberry in a corner of the yard in either full or partial sun. It grows about 8 feet tall and is a rather sprawly bush. Flowers are formed on new growth, so prune the bush severely after the berries are gone so you get more berries. It grows fairly fast.

| I'm looking for the spineless Pandanus. P. baptistii = saundersii. |
