Banana plants are an important part of the thick green jungle you find along the coast, in particular in the lush tropical Sorrento gardens. And - they get ripe, you can pick them later in summer, the typical banane frecinette as they are called on the coast. Here are a few pictures of the huge banana plants you find all over Sorrento: as an example, I would like to share some pictures of lush exemplarsI took in Hotel Royal's garden in Sorrento: But of course you would find banana trees all over the coast. Actually, there is a big of an enigmna connected to the banana topic for me: My mother referred to me that she remembered in the 1960,s on a road along the coast, a particular spot, nearer to Positano than to Praiano, was engulfed by huge banana trees on both sides, for a few hundred meters. We tried to look for that spot now, but it seems to be gone?
