How many Banana's do you get on a tree?

Question

Just wondering, on average how many banana's do you get on a tree, and if the trees produce banana's many times a year, or just once?

Answer 1

here in venezuela they fruit all year and the one i have in my garden produces about 50 to 70 in a year. But in the rainy zones (teh banana producing zones) they produce about 200.
And technically they are neither a bush or a tree, they're a monocotiledoneus tall herb, but they have the height an the silouhete of a tree so call them banana trees and forget about all the nonsense discussion

Answer 2

When I was in Tenoriffe I saw loads of banana trees (ok officially they are bushes but they look like trees). Some of them - dwarf bananas - were about 6 to 8 feet tall, and had normal size fruit and some were the traditional 40+ feet (and that's very tall for a bush). Apparently they produce fruit once a year (I was there in august and the fruit was ripe then) and the bananas I saw grew in bunches of around 6/8 . Some banana trees had two or three bunches and some more. I was in a hotel with a bar which had a garden. No one was supposed to go into it but some naughty Brits had managed to get in and shake a tree. I still remember a really big bunch of bananas crashing down onto the floor. We all had fresh bananas off the tree that night - delicious!

I tried to grow a dwarf banana back in the UK and it grew to 5 feet tall - in my Dad's living room - but it never had any bananas on it. (Dad was a good sport and had a large living room)

Answer 3

A banana tree will produce bananas once a year and they usually form in bunches of around 5 or 6. Some banana trees can produce two or three bunches, depending on the climate and how healthy the banana tree is.

Answer 4

a bunch of banana produce more then 100 banana fruit a bunch, once a year, the small tree (high bush) reproduce itself for a new tree annually.

Answer 5

Answer 6

depends on the tree type and the location. bananas fruit all the time but they have a short life

Answer 7

Banana's do not grow on trees

Answer 8

They're not banana's - they're bananas, WITHOUT the apostrophe, & they grow on bushes. Look up bananas on the Web - preferably before I go bananas!!!

Answer 9

consistent with hazard because of the fact they are corms, a root device which produces new off spring. perchance the 'mom' tree dies down and the offshoot grows and repeats the approach. over the years moving around the plantation.

Answer 10

Much as I hate to burst your bubble, bananas don't grow on trees - look it up.
