A strange bunch of bananas in the garden of Le Duc Toan at the Nghi Trung Commune in the central province of Nghe An, Viet Nam has been causing a stir among local people.

An average bunch yields from 50 to 150 bananas, but according to Toan, his banana tree of 1.5-metre-long bunch boasts more than 1,300.

The banana tree had been planted about a year ago, Toan said.
