Let’s Talk
Banana!
Scientific Name: Musa X paradisiaca
Bananas are part of the fruit
classification, but contrary to popular
belief, bananas do not grow on trees.
They actually grow on plants that are
giant herbs! And the clusters of
bananas grow pointing upwards, not
down. Banana plants are part of the
Musaceae family of plants and can
grow up to 20 feet tall or higher.

Do you know where
Banana got its name?
Centuries ago bananas
received a new name each
time a different group of
people discovered them. In
fact, centuries ago bananas
were called "banna" and
"ghana" and even "funana."
The people of Africa are
credited with giving the
banana its permanent English
name.
