Plants go bananas in mildest November yet

Plants go bananas in mildest November yet (From Falmouth Packet)

Visitors to Falmouth's historic Fox Rosehill Gardens might be surprised to see a “confused” banana plant bearing fruit this week.

The plant, which is tucked away towards the back right hand side of the gardens, sports two bunches of tiny green fruits, alongside a swollen orange flower.

A mild November, heralded by some forecasters as one of the warmest on record, is partly to blame for the plants late fruiting - although that's not the whole story.
