Banana Plant
A banana “tree” is not technically a tree; it’s a large herbaceous plant. The banana plant belongs to the genus Musa and is characterized by its tall, sturdy stem, which is often mistaken for a tree trunk. The stem is composed of tightly packed leaf bases, giving it a tree-like appearance.
A banana plant (i.e. the pseudostem) only produces fruit ONCE. Then this pseudostem can be cut off. In the meantime, the rhizome has already produced several young shoots. Even too many. You have to pinch them out.
Bananas are typically propagated through suckers, which are shoots that grow from the base of the plant. These suckers can be separated and planted to grow new banana plants.
Bananas are fast-growing plants and can reach heights of up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) or more, depending on the variety.
