General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
- Handicraft items crafted from flexible young shoots and twigs, such as mats, baskets, and plaited goods.
Industrial and craft applications:
- Thatching and roofing for coastal dwellings, utilizing durable palmate leaves.
- Lashing and cordage derived from young shoots or leaf midribs in Polynesian craft.
- Fishing line and nets produced from young stems in parts of the Pacific.
Wood and fiber:
- Timber: solid, dense stems used for posts and poles in shoreline construction and as structural supports in coastal settlements.
- Fiber: bast fibers from young stems/petioles processed into cordage and coarse weaving for handicrafts.
Properties relevant to use:
- Stem mechanical robustness and density support small structural and load-bearing craft applications.
- Leaf toughness and resistance to saltwater exposure suit thatching and cordage in marine environments.
Sustainability and sourcing:
- Widely distributed along tropical coastlines from the Indian Ocean to the western Pacific; locally harvested without threatening populations due to abundant regeneration.
