Banana experts ("Hi, I'm a banana expert!") predicted that bananas were going to take years to recover from Cyclone Larry, which completely destroyed 90% of the Australian banana crop.
Years? No: they're creeping back into stores just five months after the late-March cyclone, despite the facts that the banana plant has a nine to twelve month life cycle and imports from overseas are banned in Australia.
I suspect someone is manufacturing them in a factory somewhere, maybe from excess grapes and oranges.

I did hear something a while back about bananas being endangered, though. A quick look at Wikipedia tells a little more about his, directly under the "Pests and Diseases" section (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana).
ReplyDeleteStill, I'm not gonna worry overmuch...
I dont care what they make them from, I miss them so much I will turn a blind eye to anything. And at the moment that includes price, if they look good I'm buying them!
