We have some small banana trees in our back yard that have never born fruit. We recently discovered that one of them is growing its first bunch of bananas .....stay tuned for progress! We're going to have to get some help from the neighbors to know when to pick them.
We saw this fascinating tree while out on a walk the other day. It was rainy, so that is why the picture is so gray. My first thought is it looked like a pineapple tree ....which I knew was impossible since pineapples grow on the ground!
Closer inspection revealed the pineapples were simple baskets placed over the fruit of the tree to keep it safe from birds until ripe. I couldn't help but wonder who had the job of climbing out to the very most fragile branches of the tree to apply the baskets!
