This year, scientists from UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, and the University of California, Davis have successfully planted a fruit plant in a rainforest in Ecuador.
This plant is named the banana plant, after the native banana species.
The fruit plant, which will eventually be planted on a hilltop, has already grown into a large tree, which can reach a height of several meters.
Researchers are trying to figure out how to grow fruit in rainforests.
If the fruit plant is successful, it will be the first fruit plant ever planted in the Amazon.
The researchers hope to eventually grow a variety of bananas for export to other countries.
