 INFORMATION ABOUT BANANA TREE AND BENEFITS OF BANANA

          The banana is not technically a tree but is instead a large herbs. Banana are grown in large-scale fruit production in warm climates, but ornamental banana with varied growth habits and fruit characteristics are commonly grown as houseplants in temperate climates. 

        Unlike trees, the banana has a succulent, juicy pseudostem that emerges from a fleshy corm in the ground from which multiple suckers grow. the banana plant has smooth, tender levels arranged in a spiral around the stem. depending on the species or hybrid, leaves can be up to 9 ft long and many be entirely green or variegated. male and female flower are borne in a cluster at the tip of the stem; female flower eventually mature into the banana.

        Cultural and Environmental Care

              Banana prefer rich, fertile soils and a sunny, sheltered location. these plants thrive under uniformly warm or hot conditions. plant growth slows if temperatures fall below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and irreversible freeze damage may occur below 32 degrees. high wind can cause leaf shredding and drying and may topple plants. banana plants require ample water and will suffer if the soil dries out; however, they are not flood tolerant. each stem only produces flowers and fruits once, so the active stem must be cut away to allow new suckers to emerge.
