Kerala, the south Indian state, is famous for its Banana trees. Banana trees are the indicative part of Kerala countryside, while we can see plenty of banana trees when we travel to Kerala with Kerala Backwater.
It is a giant herb that rows to a height of around 10-20 feet and consists of a false trunk made up of the sheaths of the long leaves that spread out from the top of the tree. The leaves can be up to approximately 10 feet long and 2 feet wide, with clear parallel lines extending to the edge of the leaves from a central rib. The delicious fruit of the banana plant is 75% water, and contains sugar, potassium and vitamins A and C.
The fruit in general grows in a bunch of 50-150 green fruit, but this special tree is said to have the largest bunch ever which could also be a world record.
This is the normal banana tree.

Below is the picture of the tree from Kerala with the largest banana bunch ever
