CURIOSITY

Banana Plant

A banana tree (caretakers say it should actually be called a banana plant) in Kansas? When your college mascot is a gorilla it stands to reason that a banana tree should be nearby. Enjoy a stroll through this beautiful campus to look for the trees, although they are set out only in warmer months. How will you know when you find a banana tree? It has bananas on it!
