Oh, What a lovely bunch of bananas!
This is a field of bananas. When they are harvested, the whole tree is cut down. It's kind of like
a flower where the whole stem dies when the flower has matured. Bananas grow in clusters, and there
is soon a new tree to take the place of the one that has matured.
