Tips
Despite the long growth time, banana trees benefit from the widest seasonal availability of any fruit tree (three seasons).
The yield of 2 per harvest is relatively low, so consider planting multiple banana trees to build up stock.
Plant banana saplings at the start of Spring for maximum growing time across consecutive seasons.
Process bananas into Banana Jam for improved sell value over raw fruit.
