BANANA PALM

Banana palm is a tall, perennial plant native to tropical regions, belonging to the genus Musa. It features thick, pseudostems formed by tightly packed leaf bases and grows rapidly in warm, humid climates. The plant produces massive, paddle-shaped leaves that tear easily in the wind, creating a distinctive tropical look. Large flower clusters emerge from the top, eventually developing into hands of bananas. Despite its name, the banana palm is not a true palm but an herbaceous plant. It thrives in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and full sunlight. Widely cultivated for its sweet, nutritious fruit, it is also popular in landscaping for its bold foliage and exotic form
