The city had initially requested their removal, but it seems there&#8217;s been a development in the banana saga. Upon visiting the site on October 22nd, there appeared to be fewer bananas than before. Whether they&#8217;ve been picked or naturally dwindled remains a mystery. The individual responsible for this unexpected greenery has made a decision. Instead of removing them entirely, the bananas will be relocated to a friend&#8217;s farm. So, by November, these roadside bananas are set for a quieter life in the countryside. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbs.co.jp\/fbsnews\/news966ss5772gdhtgeyln.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FBS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fnn_banana-in-kurume_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C714&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kurume\u2019s Roadside Bananas Secure New Home on Farm\" width=\"1400\" height=\"714\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-157517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fnn_banana-in-kurume_2023_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fnn_banana-in-kurume_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C153&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fnn_banana-in-kurume_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C522&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fnn_banana-in-kurume_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C392&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
