Did you know banana plants aren’t true trees? 🍌 Their trunks are actually leaf bases called pseudostems, and each flowers just once! Whether growing tropical fruit or keeping an ornamental container plant, check out our guide on care, soil & harvesting ⬇️ vegplotter.com/grow-guides/...

Had them in our garden in Singapore. They stems are made up of segments of water. Insects love them!

Yeah, that water-filled structure is wild isn't it? Makes them surprisingly resilient in humidity but a nightmare if you overwater them. Bet the insects had a field day in Singapore's climate. Did yours actually fruit or just stay ornamental?

I can't remember them fruiting. There was a fairly decent sized clump. It was a big garden (many years ago now!) all sorts of fruiting trees in there.
