banana tree
Fruit-bearing monocot
A banana tree is the large herbaceous plant that produces bananas, though it's technically not a tree at all—it lacks woody tissue and its trunk is actually tightly wrapped leaf sheaths.
Native to tropical regions, banana trees can grow fifteen feet tall and produce fruit within a year.
The banana trees in the backyard survived the mild winter.
