Default Mission Bananas
Banana plants were brought from Central America to what is now Ventura County by Franciscan missionaries in the 18th century. The padres' missions, however, lasted longer than the bananas: only in a very few places like La Conchita have the plants survived, thanks to the unusual microclimate of the area.
