Muses (banana trees)

The musa plant is commonly known as plantain, although it is also called banana in some places. It is a perennial plant that belongs to the Musa genus and is native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia.

The plantain is a large herbaceous plant that grows from a subway rhizome called corm. In addition to the rhizome, muses have an extensive fibrous root system that helps absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Muses have a strong, fleshy stem that can reach heights of up to 9 meters. The leaves are large and fan-shaped, of intense green color. The leaves of muse plants are arranged in a spiral around the central stem, creating a lush appearance.
