Tiny bananas growing outdoors — almost unheard of in South Korea — became a sensation, drawing visitors and reporters. But are they really a global warming omen?
As a math teacher, Oh Young-rock used to jokingly tell his students that South Korea’s temperate climate would one day become so tropical that bananas would grow in the mountains and monkeys would swing from the trees. This summer, it seemed to him that his prophecy was coming true. Ten years ago, after leaving teaching to start a landscaping business, Oh had planted a banana sapling a friend had given him at a community farm he helped run in north Seoul.
In June 2017, a local Facebook page in the southeastern city of Daegu posted photographs of a fruiting banana plant in front of a residential house with the caption: “It’s honestly a little frightening.” Several major news outlets rushed to interview the owner, who speculated that it might have been because that May was unusually hot. One local agriculture official mused whether the city might someday be able to mass-produce outdoor bananas.
