At a banana orchard in Nantou, a special species from Malaysia has distinguished itself with extraordinary size and length, measuring almost twice as long as regular bananas. But does it taste better than its shorter peers? Well, let's find out.

Upon entering this banana orchard, one's eyes are immediately drawn to the giant 187-centimeter pseudostem.

The stem resembles an elephant's trunk, and has more than 80 layers of 1,500 bananas.

The banana tree has become a tourist attraction in recent months, and is at least twice the length of the average banana stem.

The owner of the orchard says that the seedling was a gift from a friend, and that he had no idea the tree would grow to its current size.

According to experts, this banana variety is from Malaysia and produces small fruit.

Ripe bananas of this variety are sour and not overly popular with consumers. In other words, they look better than they taste.
