  • Introduction
    Musa is one of three genera in the family Musaceae. The genus includes 83 species of flowering plants producing edible bananas and plantains. Though they grow as high as trees, banana and plantain plants are not woody and their apparent "stem" is made up of the bases of the huge leaf stalks. Thus, they are technically gigantic herbaceous plants.
    Musa acuminata leaves oblong, 1.9-2.3 m long, 50-70 cm wide, ear-shaped at the base, asymmetrical, green leaf surface, It is highly adaptable and widely distributed, mostly growing in shady and humid valleys, swamps, semi-swamps and slopes, below 1200 meters above sea level. Musa × paradisiaca is a species as well as a cultivar, cultivated and domesticated by human very early.
