Field Notes

Description:

Lovely edible bananas. From our vantage point, they grow upside down, but for them, it's perfectly normal.

Habitat:

Bananas are native to South and Southeast Asia, although these were spotted in Hawaii (and not on a farm).

Notes:

Plantains and bananas belong to the same genus but they taste very different and also vary in size.

Nothing like fresh picked banana!
Yum is right, ceejayalyssa! I tried some, but from another tree.
