“ | Generates Bananas that convert into game money to spend on more stuff. | ” |
~ Bloons TD 6 description |
The Banana Farm is a money-generating tower, and is the only tower (besides Special Agents and Powers) that has nothing to do with actually popping Bloons. This tower made its debut in BTD4. Banana Farms generate income every round, the amount depending on its upgrades. In BTD4, Banana Farms generate money automatically at the end of each round, while in BTD5 onwards most Banana Farms generate money which can be redeemed via collectable bananas. It is generally a good idea to buy Banana Farms early in the game, as it will result in a bigger payoff, but do not get carried away as without strong enough defense you may lose.
Game appearances[]
Banana Farm makes up to 11 appearances:
Bloons TD 4[]
- Main article: Banana Farm (BTD4)
In Bloons TD 4, the Banana Farm makes a debut. It automatically produces income at the end of each round without need of user input.
Bloons TD 5[]
- Main article: Banana Farm (BTD5)
The Banana Farm makes a return in Bloons TD 5. Instead of automatically producing income at the end of each round, the Banana Farm produces bananas that can be picked up for bonus income. It also gains an upgrade that converts the Banana Farm into a Monkey Bank, extrapolating any generated cash stored in the Bank until its maximum capacity, and can be manually withdrawn at any time. At base, the Banana Farm generates 4 bananas each worth $20. In all Mobile versions, it creates half the number of bananas, rounded up, each worth double the amount at $40 each.
In Bloons TD Battles, all Banana Farms generate +50% income compared to their non-Battles counterpart.
In Bloons Monkey City, the Banana Farm as a tower is unlocked by purchasing Micro Agriculture Development Building, which also unlocks research for its upgrades. It generates +50% income in the Flash version but similar income to BTD5 Mobile in BMC Mobile.
Bloons Monkey City[]
- Main article: Banana Farm (BMC)
On top of having a placeable tower, another type of Banana Farm exists in Bloons Monkey City. In a player's city, it is a city building that generates City Cash, used to upgrade the player's city. By default, a Banana Farm produces up to 500 at a time, but it can be upgraded to have a greater capacity. Each Banana Farm placed in the city allows one more Banana Farm to be placeable in-game, provided they have the Micro Agriculture Development Building unlocked too (unlocks at City Level 15+).
Bloons TD 6[]
- Main article: Banana Farm (BTD6)
The majority of the Banana Farm has been overwhelmingly reworked in Bloons TD 6, modifying the cost values and income values of many of its money-generating capabilities throughout. In addition to this is the option to upgrade the Farm into an automatically generating income source, similar to the BTD4 Farm.
Bloons TD Battles 2[]
- Main article: Banana Farm (BTDB2)
It is the same as BTD6, but cash generation is doubled for most Farm upgrades. Base Farm produces only +50% more overall income with double cash but only 3 bananas per round instead of 4. Various upgrades are also adjusted to account for battle scenarios.
Bloons Card Storm[]
- Main article: Banana Farm (BCS)
The Banana Farm is a common card in BCS. Like other games, it cannot attack and generates money for the user. It costs 4 Gold to place and gives the player 2 Gold at the start of a turn.

Trivia[]
- In Bloons Monkey City, Banana Investments Advisory is the only 4th tier upgrade that does not require a special building to unlock for research.
- In BTD4 Mobile games, its Pre-Round Comment only shows the normal end-of-round cash instead of adding cash earned from Banana Farms.
- In a rare glitch, one can select the blank space and it will display "Target: None."
- Players can do this glitch in BTD5 mobile by tapping one tower and pressing the info button and then when players switch to the Banana Farm it will say "Target: None." This can only be done on the iPhone and Android versions, however.
