It's actually a herb, not a tree or a bush.
A tree-like herb? Or because it doesn't have a real trunk, maybe a bush-like-herb-that-looks-like-a-tree? The mystery deepens...
Looking on Wikipedia, I have just discovered that the banana is the most radioactive fruit and there is actually a unit of radiation called the "Banana Equivalent Dose".
That's brilliant
The more I learn about bananas the more I like them. I wish they sold red ones near here.

Hmm. So standing 1km away from the bomb at Hiroshima would be roughly equivalent to eating more than 4 million bananas all at once. Makes sense.
