Britain's Heatwaves Bring a Bizarre Fruitful Surprise The latest bout of scorching temperatures has brought more than just droughts and water restrictions to the UK.
In a freak occurrence, Pam Woodall, a gardener in Dorset, has successfully grown bananas for the first time ever in her garden.
The high temperatures that enabled Woodall's banana plants to bloom and produce fruit also mean that the crop will not be edible, as the sunshine will not last long enough for them to ripen properly.
