Banana trees are like "weeds" they DO grow indefinitly. As fast as one fruits another pops up right beside it. Looks like the same tree, but it aint! It becomes quite a tangled mess eventually (if you don't trim and take care of it).

Poi is made from the roots of a plant that grows in a "paddy" like setting. LOTS of water! It is to the locals what potatos are to most of us. Most commonly served plain and AFTER it has "spoiled". Here in VERY FEW places you can buy fresh poi, and actually, thats not bad! Kind of sweet taste to it! But it spoils real quick!
