The tiny banana tree.


Quang Tho commune chairman Hoang Cong Phong said the local authorities had discovered that the tree grows from the root of a banana tree that was previously chopped off.

The place where the tree grows is the former pond bed, which was leveled.

Phong said some local people considered the banana tree as a god because it is supersmall, only 15cm high, but it has up to six inflorescences.

As many people flocked to the site to burn incense and worship the tree, local police had to disperse the crowd.

Local villagers said that the people who worshipped the banana tree came from other villages, which heard rumors about the special tree.
