(Baonghean.vn) - Ms. Mac Thi Xan (born in 1977), residing in Na Cang village, Yen Tinh commune, Tuong Duong district, the owner of the banana bunch, said that although there are now more than 2,000 bananas, the banana bunch continues to produce fruit.

According to Ms. Xan, she brought the banana tree home to plant more than 3 years ago, from a place more than 50km away from her current home. When brought home, the parts of this banana tree were no different from local banana varieties, even until the banana blossomed.
Her family began to notice something special about the banana tree when it formed fruit from the banana bunch. The fruits of the banana bunch were not separated into bunches like other banana bunches, but they were stuck together, lying close together like a "mutant" banana species.

“At that time, my whole family knew that this was a special bunch of bananas. Not only did everyone in the family find it strange, but also the elderly and young people in the village, in the commune, and even people from other communes came to see and said this was a special bunch of bananas. Many people are asking for seeds to plant, but right now it only has a few seedlings so they can’t give them away yet,” Ms. Xan added.
It has been almost 2 years since the banana flower and fruit started to bloom, but it shows no signs of stopping. Currently, the banana bunch is nearly 2 meters long and has more than 2,000 bananas.
