Never mind that bananas are rich in nutrients and antioxidants, that they may help in digestion and may improve blood sugar levels and aid weight loss; I had wanted to plant a banana tree for the leaves. Banana leaves can't be eaten I suppose but they are rather useful for wrapping food; Malaysia's national food for instance, nasi lemak and some traditional kuih. Banana trees are however usually big and require some space to grow. Found out that there are smaller versions of banana trees though and had bought and planted a dwarf Cavendish banana in a pot.
Here's a banana tree that I won't dream of planting....
