πβοΈ #Bananas undergo a process called negative geotropism where the #fruit grows upward toward the sunlight rather than toward the ground.
This evolutionary trait allows the heavy fruit clusters to maintain balance while competing for light in the #rainforest canopy. Botanists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, note that this unique growth pattern is what gives the fruit its characteristic curve.

"The Daintree River valley is home to what remains of the world's oldest surviving rainforest, which dates back about 135 million years. In the 50s, it was drained, cleared and β¦ made available for sugar cane farming. Conservation group Rainforest Rescue this week secured partial approval to plant rainforest species on old sugar cane properties surrounding a nationally significant wetland".>>
