Description
Everyone knows bananas are a fruit but, unlike apples and oranges, they don't grow on trees. Banana plants look like they have a trunk, but it is really densely packed leaves holding up a huge plant and bunches of bananas. Young readers will love learning the truth about banana plants, including that they don't grow from seeds but a piece of another banana plant. Colorful photographs take kids right to banana farms as this plant grows and produces a favorite fruit.
