Banana Sapling is a Farming plant in Windrose. Once mature it can be harvested for Bananas and Banana Seeds, and because each harvest returns a seed it reseeds itself for free.

Planting
Plant the sapling in a player-built Seedbed. A Seedbed section is crafted with 5 Fertile Soil each (see Fertile Soil) and placed through the build menu under the Farming tab. Each section accepts up to four plants, one in each corner. Walk up to an empty corner with the Banana Sapling in the inventory and place it from the radial menu.
Banana Sapling is obtained as a drop from harvesting wild Banana plants in the world. There is no vendor that sells seeds or saplings, so the first stack of any plant has to be foraged.
Growth and Harvest
Plants in Windrose take roughly 70 minutes of real time to grow to full size. Growth continues while the player is offline, so a freshly planted sapling will be ready next session. When ripe, the plant changes to a fully matured model with a faint highlight on inspection.
Press E on a mature plant to harvest. The harvest yields the listed crop plus a fresh seed of the same plant, so a single sapling effectively reseeds itself with no net seed loss.
Bulk Farming
For larger volumes a hired farming worker can run a plot in the background: supply a batch of seeds plus a small Piastre fee and collect a big crop yield after several hours, even while offline. This is the fastest way to turn a single foraged Banana Seeds stack into a steady banana supply without tending each corner by hand.
Notes
Bananas are a staple Cooking ingredient and a good source of stamina restoration, so a banana row is one of the higher value early seedbed picks even with the longer growth window.
Tips
Always harvest the seed back. Walking away from a finished plant before pressing E does not consume the seed, but breaking the plant with a tool will.
Pack a stack of saplings before sailing far. Harvested wild plants drop saplings inconsistently, and a small portable supply means the home base never runs dry of starter stock.
Saplings do not decay in inventory, so it is safe to overstock and replant only as space frees up in the Seedbed.
