Banana yucca fruit is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
Banana yucca fruit is an ingredient in the gecko kebab and slasher campfire recipes. Similar to other Mojave Wasteland plants, fruit picked from a banana yucca plant will eventually regrow after the Courier picks them, making them an unlimited supply of free food. Picking one plant yields one piece of fruit. Banana yucca fruit can be found in various places throughout the wastes. Packs of bighorners are frequently found grazing near the plants, and have an affinity for the fruit.[1]

Randall Clark mentions in a May 5, 2083 terminal entry that he has discovered banana yucca, honey mesquite, and prickly pear are still safe to eat after the war, despite minor mutations.[2][3]
Behind the scenes[]
The banana yucca fruit is based on the real world Yucca baccata, or "banana yucca" due to its banana-shaped fruit.
