Description
The banana plant is very interesting. It has been cultivated for centuries. The leaves are waterproof and the fibers make wonderful fabric. One stem will yield one bunch of bananas; afterwards, it dies, though offshoots may develop. The flower is inflorescence, and in this series is partially open. It is also known as banana heart and is even sold for decoration and worship.
