The 42-year-old hobby gardener had never seen his banana tree produce fruit before, but this changed with the onset of this summer’s soaring temperatures, which triggered the growth of tropical fruit.
However, in the last couple of years, the banana plant not only survived the harsh conditions but also thrived and grew significantly larger.
Nevertheless, he is hopeful that this occurrence will repeat annually in the future.
The Royal Horticultural Society website notes that banana plants rarely flower or bear fruit when grown outdoors in the UK.
