Question Do banana trees produce seeds? Are they in the banana fruit?
Answer Stan,
Bananas do not produce seeds in their fruit. Bananas reproduce asexually. The offspring is identical to the parent, they spread by means of rhizomes (underground stems). A rhizome will send up a false stem where leaves emerge. Bananas produce a stalk which contains numerous flowers which will become the fruit.
Bananas are often considered trees, actually they are a large herb.
