Today was pretty good. School was pretty normal. When I got home, I got to the requirements. I ran my final 4 miles today, super exited about that; my legs have been struggling for these past couple of runs. Later in the evening I studied pretty hard for school. I learned something pretty interesting today. Since I will be needing to get a fruit tree, I was thinking of the possible trees that could survive in the conditions we have in North Carolina. I was going through the trees in my head and I stumbled across the banana tree. Technically a banana grows on a herbaceous plant, not a tree. Because of this, a banana is considered a berry under the fruit category . I guess that means no banana . . . plant?
