Often erroneously referred to as a tree, the banana plant is the largest herb in the world, often reaching heights of 20 to 25 feet.
Its sweet fruit has become a valuable export commodity for many tropical countries.
In addition, banana leaves have many uses for people,
including roofing for homes, plates and cups for eating, and umbrellas.
Plus, they're woven into a host of functional items.

Words cannot adequately express the tragedy of Haiti's devastating earthquake.
The One World Project family extends our deepest sympathies to all those affected by this natural disaster.
We're thankful to report that many of our Haitian artisan partners have survived,
although some are injured; others are still missing.
The soapstone carvers are in an area very close to the epicenter; they are back working again,
while rebuilding their houses and gathering tools.
We invite you to browse through our Haitian artisan products.
Many items are now back in stock!
We hope that you will continue to support the Haitian people and so
we'd like to generate new orders for them!
Under many out of stock items is an "E-mail me when in stock" e-mail link.
This will tell us how many items we should request from the artisans,
and it assures them that their work will continue.
