  Bananas are a berry, palms are kinda a grass, and large swath of grains are grasses.

    What kind of fruit a plant develops is something entirely different to what a grass is though. And these are all taxonomically different groups (palms, bananas and grasses).

  At least both Musaceae (Bananas) and Poaceae (Grasses) are both monocots. But that’s where their taxonomic proximity ends. They are not even in the same order (Zingiberales vs Poales)…

    Palms trees are technically grass, AFAIK.

    We figured this out in florida because targeted yard “weed spray” kills them, too.

      Your plain wrong. Poaceae does not contain muss.
