  The Banana manifold $X_{\text{Ban}}$ is a compact Calabi-Yau threefold
constructed as the conifold resolution of the fiber product of a generic
rational elliptic surface with itself, first studied by Bryan. We compute
Katz's genus 0 Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of fiber curve classes on the Banana
manifold $X_{\text{Ban}}\to \mathbf{P}^1$. The weak Jacobi form of weight -2
and index 1 is the associated generating function for these genus 0
Gopakumar-Vafa invariants. The invariants are shown to be an actual count of
structure sheaves of certain possibly nonreduced genus 0 curves on the
universal cover of the singular fibers of $X_{\text{Ban}}\to \mathbf{P}^1$.
