Beginner Gardening: Is this normal for a banana tree (and a few more questions), 1 by DaleTheGardener

The bananas that we buy in the store are ususally Cavendish. I have a dwarf Cavendish in the backyard. I have 'taste tested' other varieties, but, I was not wild about them. Even Cavendish tastes better if left to ripen on the 'tree'.

Bananas are classified as a moncot (grass). I have never seen a snake in banana grove, but, who knows for sure?

The plants above with the blue/purple flowers are Mexican Petunia. The state Ag people have declared it an invasive and asked people & nurseries not to grow it. But, as you can see my clients don't always care.

Orchids are not invasive....
