Mr. Lo Van Quan (Military Command of Quy Hop District) said that the unit took the seeds of this banana tree from the unit's growing area in Chau Quang Commune (Quy Hop). During its growth, the tree developed normally. Recently, people discovered that the middle of the tree trunk was torn open, from which a bunch of bananas with 11 large bunches emerged. The bananas grew bigger every day. Because the bunch was so big and had so many bunches, a wooden pole had to be used to prevent it from falling over.

This strange banana tree is over 2m tall and stands out from the other 10 banana trees around. After the news of the strange banana tree sprouting bunches from its trunk, many curious people came to see it.
Some people think this is a lucky sign, others are a bit worried... In fact, bananas blooming in the middle of the stem is an unusual phenomenon but not unheard of. According to scientists, this is just a "mutation" of plants.
