banana grove

Fruit tree cluster

A banana grove is a cultivated area where banana plants grow together.

Though bananas grow on large herbaceous plants rather than trees, grove applies as it does to other fruit-bearing plantings: We walked through the banana grove at dawn.

The term appears in agricultural and tropical contexts.
