It's a great season for bananas this year in Aramoho.
Steve Clotworthy proudly showed the Wanganui Chronicle his fruiting banana tree when we visited his Aramoho home recently.
The tree, sporting several dozen green bananas, grows in the middle of Mr Clotworthy's back garden.
Mr Clotworthy said his daughter bought the tree for him in Auckland about 10 years ago.
"It fruited that first year, but this is only the second time since then. I think the hot weather we've had recently has encouraged it on."
