One of the most beautiful things God has created for us is fruit, which is distinguished by its delicious taste that no one can resist. It is classified as sweet and sour in taste, as there is a very high nutritional value in all types of fruit trees, and many fruits contain a cure for many incurable diseases, including cancer.

Types of fruit trees
Fruit trees are known for their irresistible delicious taste, especially tropical fruit trees, which consist of moist fruits full of water, saturated with vitamins, fiber, and nutrients that are distinguished by their high nutritional value.
It is well known that tropical fruit trees are evergreen, meaning that their leaves do not fall in the fall or winter because they love water and heat, cannot tolerate salinity, and prefer acidic soil. We will learn about the types of fruit trees, especially tropical fruits, below:
1. Banana tree
It is commonly called a tree, but it is a large herb from which branch out the leaf stalks that are wrapped around themselves, forming a hollow stem called a pseudo-stem.
The true stem is a dwarf corm located under the soil surface from which emerges the false stem, leaves, flowers and fruit. Three types of flowers branch out from the banana, but pollination is parthenocarpic, meaning it is just a swelling of the ovary. From this standpoint, the banana fruit is seedless.
After the tree bears fruit, it dies and is replaced by larger offspring, which is why the banana tree is called the tree that fights its father.
Banana trees are grown in the Arab world, but they cannot stand strong winds that tear their leaves. It is a sweet fruit with a delicious taste, loved and famous by everyone.
