They grow upwards, just in case you've never seen them grow.
After they harvest the bananas, they chop down the tree, and start again.
At a wholesaler. Just missing a shot at a retail store (although I've shown those in earlier posts, and of us eating some yummy bananas. Below are shots of the field when done.
