It looks a bit like a banana, but very short and thick. What kind of fruit is this?

This is the horn banana, a species under the genus Musa. It is named because it looks like a horn. It is a variety introduced from India by Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm and South China Tropical Crop Research Institute in the 1950s and 1960s.

The pseudostem of the banana is about 300 cm high and yellow-green. The petiole is closed, and the petiole is almost green-purple. The leaves are thin, yellow-green with red. The fruit is straight, with obvious ribs. After ripening, the skin turns light pink and earthy yellow, similar to the color of pink banana. The weight of a single fruit is about 1kg. The flesh is tender and sweet.

Extended information:

The banana likes a hot and humid climate and grows vigorously in deep, loose soil and well-drained land; the banana is mainly distributed in Hainan, Yunnan and other regions. There are very few banana varieties planted in other areas.

Planting period: In production, the appropriate planting period can be selected according to the harvest period of bananas. Most banana-producing areas choose two periods: spring planting and autumn planting. Spring planting is from February to April, and autumn planting is around the autumnal equinox.
