The banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants. Almost all the modern edible bananas come from the two wild species, Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana. Bananas are vigorously growing, monocotyledonous herbaceous plants. This banana is not a tree but a high herb that can attain up to 4 meters of height. The cultivars vary greatly in plant fruit size, plant morphology, fruit quality. Most bananas have a sweet flavor when ripe. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains, in contrast to dessert bananas. That fruit is variable in size, color and firmness.

The time between planting a banana plant and the harvest of the banana bunch is from 9 to 12 months. The flower appears in the sixth or seventh month.
