Bananas don’t grow on trees. They are produced by herbaceous plants.

Banana grows on the largest herbaceous flowering plants in the world, hence it doesn’t grow on trees. Actually, banana trees are plants because when you’ll look closely at the trunk, you can see they do not contain any woody tissues. The plant does not have a “trunk” but “pseudostems,” made up of tightly packed leaves.
