Just about a year ago (July 2006) I told the story of our "Hallelujah
Banana". This is a house plant we have been nurturing since 1985
thinking that we would give it just one more year before giving up on
it. Last year was "it" and it was time for it to go but no sooner did we
make this decision then it decided to flower and produce bananas.

Some place in the back of my mind I recall that bananas ripen best off the
tree.

There are about 300 different types of bananas/plantains, few are seen
in the US as many need to ripen on the plant and ripe bananas don't
ship well... none grow on trees (there is no such thing as a banana
tree), they are herbaceous perennials, the world's largest.
