Those probably are the "hala" Pandanus tectorus, (if the 'globe' looks like a pineapple - green to yellow & most dogs like them too, slightly sweet & plastic-y chewy) and can be grown by planting the keys.
We do not have the tree, but have found fruit at Richardson, down at the end of Macu'u & other at many of our friends in Hawaiian Beaches, Shores & such (just saw some on the ground in Kings Landing area while kayaking...)
The absolutely bestest hala fruit I have seen is on the other side in the gated gardens off of Makala. HUGE soccer ball sized, with very large keys (they make great brushes!)
