Banana trees are made up of giant leaves, not a trunk. So they’re more like a giant onion instead of a tree.

    I just don’t respect botanical definitions any more. Who cares what they think berries, fruits, grain and nuts should be? They can’t even define a tree! If anyone gets to define these terms for every English speaker, it sure isn’t going to be them.

    Culinary definitions all the way! Unfortunately, they have no satisfying category for rhubarb either.
