Banana tree

The Banana tree is not a tree it's actually an herb or plant.
Because it only bears fruits once and then it dies and has like baby banana "trees" growing around it they're like the ones in this vid and then they grow and have babies around.Those young herb are called "suckers".

I got this one from my grandma's mother plant.

Thanks for this. Very interesting. However, one small pointer - can you please stop using the word 'like' in every sentence. It's incredibly irritating.

I have never seen a small banana tree before - thank you for posting.

[BurstingSeed]

18 months from planting to fruit - but if you live where you have to take it indoors over the winter (cannot take freezing temperatures). You can replant the bulb next season and sometimes by the end of the 2nd year, but sometimes it takes 3 years in Arkansas.

him repeating Like is ACTUALLY clever subliminal messaging telling you to `like`this video.

Suckers produce little fruit or no fruit at all. Thats why they are called suckers. If it does produce fruit it is of low quality and like he said it only produces once.
