Comment on After 4 years my banana tree decided it was time to fruit!
Almonds@mander.xyz 4 days agoI was agreeing with you that it’s silly to correct someone calling it a tree outside of specific contexts, just like arguing a tomato isn’t a vegetable.
For what it’s worth, I have had to learn the growth habits of plants in ecology classes for a degree that I am currently earning. I have plant identification books that use those terms, because they do have a technical use.

Yeah, because you’re studying something related to botannical sciences, this dude is just taking his google searches and saying “WELL AKSHUALLY.” He doesn’t have a clue, that’s why he is being so pedantic.

Oh Bro Bro Bro Bro, where’d all the jargon go? Where are the big words and scientific terms that you don’t understand? Where have they gone bro? Where’s the taxonomical definitions Bro? Left them on wikipedia I assume.

Give me a definition that you’ll stand by for a tree then. One that encompasses everything we should consider a tree and nothing which doesn’t.
