Last weekend i was walking around the Temple grounds down by the river of Bangkok on this praticular site there are four beautiful temple buildings and one more under construction and with most temple grounds the monks have there own lush gardens and fruit trees.
It was in these temple grounds that i came across this Banana tree call the Musa Thousand Fingers Banana Tree now i have seen many varieties of banana trees with different types of bananas growing of them but this one never , didn't even know it existed i was so amazed i couldn't believe my eyes were seeing such a amazing bunch of bananas on one branch.
I actually came home that afternoon and had to google this banana tree to convince myself that it was real what i was seeing and be damn it is a true existing banana tree that grows only in the Asian countries and is a rare banana tree that grows up to a thousand small sweet finger bananas it would be very interesting to watch it grow and bare it's bananas it's like looking at a long Elephant trunk extending out.
Although it is a pretty sturdy tree in normal conditions this banana tree is given support by placing a timber frame around it so it doesn't topple over with all it's extra weight of bananas and in the case of strong monsoon winds and rain. The bananas themselves grow to about a inch and a half long and are one of the most sweetest bananas you will ever eat and the banana bunch can grow up to 3 meters long. Well who ever thought that a banana tree could grow up to a thousand bananas we see and learn something everyday of our lives well i certainly did today it was truly mind blowing to have seen this amazing banana tree in front of me with my two own eyes otherwise i would not have believed if someone had told me about this particular banana tree.
