How big are fully grown banana trees?

The height of a fully grown banana tree can vary depending on the species and growing conditions. On average, banana trees can reach heights of around 10 to 25 feet (3 to 7.5 meters). Some species, such as the Musa ingens, can grow even taller, reaching heights of up to 40 feet (12 meters) or more.

Banana trees are herbaceous perennials, meaning that they do not have a woody stem and their above-ground parts die back each year. However, the underground rhizome survives and sends up new shoots the following season. The pseudostem, which is the main trunk-like structure of the banana tree, is actually formed by tightly packed leaf sheaths. The leaves of banana trees are large and oblong, and can be up to 10 feet (3 meters) long and 2 feet (0.6 meters) wide.

Banana trees are native to tropical regions of Asia and Oceania, but they are now grown in many parts of the world. They are an important source of food, and their fruit is enjoyed by people all over the globe.
