Strange banana bunches grow from the middle of the tree trunk in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Instead of blooming and forming clusters from the top as usual, a dwarf banana tree in Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy's garden in Quynh Dien commune, Quynh Luu district, has bloomed clusters from the middle of the tree trunk, attracting the curiosity of many people.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy, her family has grown bananas many times with varieties such as dwarf bananas, seeded bananas and royal bananas. However, she was quite surprised when she first witnessed a banana tree in her garden that grew very differently, with flower pillars and flowers splitting outwards to form a bunch right from the middle of the tree trunk.

Through observation of this banana tree, each female flower cluster is developing into a very good bunch of bananas. Currently, Ms. Thuy is monitoring every day when the bananas produce smaller fruits, she will cut the cob, in order to concentrate nutrients to grow the fruit larger. This is a banana tree that grows completely naturally, without any impact or intervention from humans. That is why it has become a strange phenomenon for Ms. Thuy's family as well as the people in the village.
