What is the secret to growing tropical fruit in Iceland's cold, barren climate? I travel to Hveragerði, Iceland, to find out.

Wow! Gives inspiration that one can plant anything even when they say, “that plant doesn’t grow there.”

Maddie, it's so great to see your excitement about bananas. I agree that the best ones are fresh off the plant. My brother has one in his yard back on the big island of Hawaii.

Originally this video was supposed to be about geothermnal energy and how it makes electricity for lighting and growing all sorts of fruit in the greenhouses. But bananas were so interesting we focused on those instead!

Probably one of the best thumbnail images I’ve seen on a KZfaq video in years. Did you set that up on purpose or was the blue/yellow mix a serendipitous coincidence?

ISN'T IT GOOD! My thumbnail angel 'Alex Jrassic' made my dreams a reality

Interesting when i went Iceland university they had hundreds of plants and most were giving to students and staff, i knew it was a big buissness in the post ww2 years but not how they grew.

Another smashing good video! Now, how can I get my kids to eat freckled bananas??! It makes me wonder how sustainable bananas are if each plant is over one year old to produce fruit? 🤔 Thank you for the video!

This was the fact that suprised me the most!

@frankieroberto9603 2 ай бұрын

Are these grown commercially in Iceland to sell as fruit, or is it more for research?

@maddiemoate 2 ай бұрын

It's more for research. Because they ripen on the plant, they're not suitable for export. But students and visitors get to enjoy them!

@petesmart1983 2 ай бұрын

They were commercial post war but cheaper and better quality from other countries eventually fazed them out
