How do you get the seeds out of a monkey puzzle tree seed pod?
Very carefully. When they fall from the tree, they are very green and it is difficult to separate the seeds from the spiked "Hand Grenade" cone. Let them age for couple of weeks in a dry spot. You will be left with brownish to black cone which separates more easily. The seed is in a fibrous covering. I use small needle nose pliers, grip on each side and pull. You decide if it is worth the effort. The Chilean folks of days ago must have had a lot of time on there hands.

Why banana is not considered a tree and is called a herb?
The banana is not a tree, it is the largest herbacious flowering plant of the genus Musa. The main stem is a pseudostem, growing 20 to 25 feet tall and produces a single bunch of bananas. After fruiting the stem dies.
Bananas are herbsAlthough referred to as banana trees, they are not trees at all but a perennial herb. Its trunk is not a true one, but many leaves tightly wrapped around a single stem which emerges at the top as the fruit-bearing flower stalk.The fruit fingers grow in clumps known as hands,since they resemble a hand with fingers. The entire stalk, known as a bunch, takes up to a year for the fruit to ripen enough to be harvested. The original stem dies after producing fruit, but sideshoots rise from the same underground corm to produce a new plant to be harvested the following year. The fruit itself is sterile, unable to produce a plant from the miniscule dark seeds within.
Some banana trees continue producing up to one hundred years, although most banana plantations renew their stock every ten to twenty-five years.
