Do you know what this is? I never knew or saw where the bananas came from or how they grew until I came to El Salvador. This is the first time I saw banana trees with the fruit on it.
I just buy them from the store like most people do and never really knew how they look like while still on the tree or how they form and grow.
Now that I have my own banana trees, I can actually watch my own bananas grow daily on my tree and I had no idea how beautiful the whole process is.
I love observing the growing process especially since it is like watching a gorgeous flower which opens up its red flower petal and underneath you see bunch of beautiful flowers which turn into bananas and every day the petals keep on falling down and new bunch of bananas is being born.
Who knew the process of growing your own bananas is so beautiful and I feel so blessed and grateful for the whole beautiful experience since I love nature and love to observe it and watch it and listen to it especially when it starts to give life and delicious nutritious foods and herbs etc.

So today I just wanted to share some photos of it and I am actually making a video of the whole process daily to share it with you and so I hope you will enjoy the photography of this beautiful plant that I took today.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday and wish you all a wonderful Sunday.
Love @joalvarez

That is some interesting species of Banana @joalvarez and I am sure you will enjoy the ripe fruits soon.
Banana leaves are excellent for many uses too.
Thank you @cryptopie.
I can't wait to enjoy them.
I know the bananas leave we also use for cooking etc, which is very, very cool.
Have an amazing day my friend.
God Bless!
Wow!
This is so cool, I had no idea this is what banana's look like at the beginning and they are some of my favorite fruits!
I can't wait to see the video and the entire process of banana groth.
Thank you so much for sharing this post! I wish you a lovely Sunday!
Thank you my lovely friend.
I know, that is how I was too. Never seen the growth process of bananas and that is why I like sharing about it, since most people from the tropical countries seen it and it's a normal thing for them, but for us from the colder countries we have never really seen how the bananas are grown.
I do know what they are!
Each banana has those individuals flowers at the tip of the banana fruits. As the bunch matures, these will wither and dry. A good way to know when to cut the whole bunch is when all of the little tip flowers dry up and fall off to the touch.
Also... I may be too early to tell, but are you sure these are bananas? They look a bit like plantains or a hybrid.
Thanks for the tip.
Yes, these are bananas and we had enjoyed them for a while now. We have so many different kinds of bananas here in El Salvador, and these are pretty small but chubby bananas and very, very sweet. One of our favorites.
Thank you for clarifying and that makes total sense. I know exactly which variety you are talking about. They are small and sweet, and small bunches. Around here they are called "minimos."
