Japanese Man Grows Banana Trees in the Middle of City Road for Two Years
It’s unclear why the man chose to plant the trees on public property.
A man from Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, went unnoticed for two years after planting three banana trees on a busy city street.
Authorities recently cut down illegally planted trees.Also trees that block the driver's view.
The man in his 50s diligently waters tropical plants twice a day. That makes it easy for authorities to identify and find him.
The man was then faced with two choices: cut down the trees or face up to a year in prison or a 500,000 yen ($3,350) fine.
After removing the tree, the man expresses loneliness without his "beautiful banana."
Kurume's banana trees have attracted national attention. News crews also captured the event.
The man was interviewed and filmed while trying to eat a raw banana from a tree.
The mystery of his success in escaping police detection for so long, even though watering them every day, is still unanswered.
The two banana trees were moved and planted in the garden of an 80-year-old man who promised to take care of them. The third tree was given as a birthday gift to Kurume's friend.
