Some fascinating facts about these trees you might not know:
- These are endemic trees, meaning their growth is restricted to very specific regions of the world.

- Soldiers stationed in areas where these trees grow learn to identify them by known markers, and as seen in the videos above, they know how to fill their canteens from them.
- On Madagascar Island, there is a plant resembling a banana shrub, also storing ample water for the dry seasons. This plant is called Ravenala and exclusively grows on this island.
