While the weather has been mild for December in the Okanagan, it’s not quite the tropics.

Penticton residents and business owners happened upon bananas hung from trees in downtown Penticton on Tuesday morning.

Those arriving to work on Main Street found bananas hanging from a white string on branches of trees. There was a grouping of the elongated, edible fruit spotted in the 500 block outside the Penticton Western News, another in Nanaimo Square and a further hand of bananas in the 300 block of Main.
