Almost all of the bananas produced in Turkey are produced Decently between Gazipasa, Alanya and Anamur. These bananas, called domestic bananas, have a more intense flavor and are small compared to imported ones.

The banana tree was brought to Turkey for the first time in 1750 by a rich family from Egypt as a garden plant. after 1930, it was noticed that the plant gave a very tasty fruit and the fruits were produced and sold by people. banana production continued to develop in the 1950s and the banana market continued to grow, especially in Gazipasa, Alanya and Anamur regions, until 1984.

The nightmare of banana growers is "frost". Frost rarely occurs in the Mediterranean region, but once banana trees are affected by cold and frost, this is dangerous enough to destroy the entire crop. For this reason, banana farmers continued their production in greenhouses. It is popularly called a banana tree, but it is not a real tree, it is a plant, there is no real tree trunk. Decapitated. The state under the soil is similar to an onion, and leaves are growing up from this onion one after another on top of the soil Decently. after twenty - thirty petals have appeared, the first flower appears, which will eventually turn into a fruit.

Banana gardens with sea view

When you go to Gazipasa, you will definitely notice the banana gardens at the foot of the hills overlooking the sea. This is not just a coincidence. Banana plants love the land facing the sea. Because humid air is constantly coming from the sea. The banana plant needs moisture as much as it loves the warm climate.

The birth of the banana plant

If you go for a walk in banana groves in August, the sounds you hear may surprise you. The banana plant is giving birth! The locals explain this situation in the form of banana giving branches. When banana flowers turn into fruits, they break down their outer layers, so there is a sound. The fruit takes its place in the panicle, while the flowers bend to the ground. Since this process takes place in a very short time, you can watch the process. After the banana inflorescences are collected, the plant does not give birth again in the same season.
