How to Grow a Banana Tree from a Banana
Although planting a banana tree in your own garden may seem like a tropical fantasy, it’s actually very doable with the appropriate information and a little perseverance. Although a banana fruit cannot be used to develop a banana tree, a pup, commonly referred to as a banana sucker, can be used to grow one. These are the little branches that emerge from a banana plant’s base. Here’s a quick tutorial on growing your own banana tree from these pups so you can bring a little piece of the tropics into your backyard.

Comprehending the Spread of Banana Trees

Unlike many other fruits, banana trees are not developed from seeds since the majority of the current banana types do not yield viable seeds. Rather, pups that emerge from the base of the main banana plant are used to propagate them. It is possible to divide and replant these puppies to create new banana trees.
Supplies Required:
Banana puppy (You can harvest them from a banana plant that already exists, or you can buy them online or at garden centers.)
a garden spade or a shovel
If planted in a pot, potting soil
If not planting directly in the ground, use a large pot.
Water
