Kathy deWitt Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi folks: Can anyone identify this tree for me please? I don't know if the bulbous end in folded leaves or a seed pod. And I am not having any luck upload an image, sorry. Photographed in Los Angeles. KW9A71 with thanks, kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radim Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Kathy some sort of banana tree look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musa_(genus) Radim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Definitely a banana. What you are seeing is the flower stem with purple bracts hiding the unopened flowers at the bulbous end. The ones above are spent. Bananas would normally form above the unopened flowers. Can't tell you the exact species / variety but probably one of the more tender Musa species.
