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, seed bananas and royal bananas. However, she was quite surprised when she first witnessed a banana tree in her garden that had a very different appearance, that is, the flower column and flowers split 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, then she will cut the cob, in order to concentrate nutrients to grow the fruit bigger. 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.
