Having grown bananas, I can attest to the fact they grow the other way around. It starts out as a giant flower. As the bananas grow the weight pulls the stalk over and the bananas point up. When you harvest them, you cut the stalk to include the bend. The bend makes a great hook to hang them by in your garage where animals can't eat them.
Fun factoid. They're not trees at all.
