[AccessD] [dba-OT] Our first Winter Storm of the season!

[Jim Lawrence]

Thank you Stuart...I feel enlightened. :-)

The banana (bushes ?) that were growing in the park lasted for years...is this because they never had a full crop of bananas? ...or were they just a special ornamental variety?

Like I said - no such thing as a banana "tree".   :)

Trees have perennial (1) , woody (2) trunks.  

1.  The banana is a herb similar to ginger etc  (only bigger). It grows from a rhizome,  The 
"trunk" dies after it has borne one crop of fruit.  New banana plants are generate as suckers 
by the rhizome and they are short lived.  Only the rhizome itself is "perrenial". 
  
2.  The banana doesn't have a trunk, woody or otherwise. (Other non- trees such as 
bamboos and palms, do have trunks)   The banana's  pseudostem is just a compressed 
mass of leaves (like an onion or  leek)
