Banana is not a fruit. Bananas are a false berry. Banana plants are a herb, not a tree.

A false berry or epigynous berry is an accessory fruit found in certain plant species with an inferior ovary. In these species the floral tube (including the basal parts of the sepals, petals, and stamens) can ripen along with the ovary, forming the false berry.

Examples of plants which produce false berries include:

* banana
* family Cucurbitaceae
o Cucumis, like cucumber and canteloupe
o watermelon
o Cucurbita (gourds), like squash and pumpkin
* family Ribes, such as gooseberry and the currants (including redcurrant and blackcurrant)
* cranberry, blueberry, and other members of Vaccinium
