Banana Tree

By Samanvita Pathanjali

This is our family's banana tree located in our backyard. During quarantine, our family was bored, so like many others, we started gardening. We watered it daily, although now the rain has adequately filled the tree's needs. In India, there are a lot of banana trees, so we wanted to grow our own. It's probably going to take a really long time, but it'll be satisfying when I can eat one of the bananas or put it on my oatmeal. I expect them to be small and thin (not really like the huge bananas we see at grocery stores).
