Bananas
Bananas are widely believed to grow on trees: this is incorrect The banana is a plant which finishes all its growth in one year, reaching a height of 30 feet Bananas have a subterranean stem from which come large, green leaves
The plant reaches its maturity in about 18 months As the bunches of bananas mature and the fruit develops, they can be propped up with poles and covered with blue polyethylene bags These bags prevent bruising, protect against the frost and speed ripening by increasing heat and humidity
Once the banana plant has produced its fruit, the mother plant dies and is replaced by pups sucker plants These grow next to the parent and make a new generation of banana plants
