Hi! Thanks a bunch for visiting my page. Oh, and remember-
More to come...
Thank you. Now here we go!
Here is an article from Encyclopedia.com on bananas:
banana
name for a family of tropical herbs (the Musacae), for a
genus (Musa) of herbaceous plants, and for the fruits
they produce. Bananas are probably native to tropical
Asia, but are widely cultivated. They are related to the
economically valuable MANILA HEMP and to the
BIRD-OF-PARADISE FLOWER. Banana plants have a
palmlike aspect and large leaves, the overlapping bases
of which form the so-called false trunk. Only female
flowers develop into the banana fruit (botanically, a
berry), each plant bearing fruit only once. The seeds are
sterile; propagation is through shoots from the
rhizomes. Bananas are an important food staple in the
tropics.
You've probably heard me saying "bananas" on the series or in the movie. I either say "My nanana!" which means "Give me my bananas!!" or "Nanana!" wich means, of course, "Bananas!" or just simply "Mine!", referring sometimes to bananas!
Here are some banana facts-
-They grow on trees.
-A group of bananas is called a bunch, which they grow in.
-They are native to southeast Asia.
-Musa X paradisiaca L. is the scientific name for banana.
-They grow throughout the Tropics and Subtropics.
-Bananas need warm weather to grow.
-When bananas get brown splotches, it doesn't mean theyr'e going bad. It just means theyr'e ripe!
