If I am not mistaken, Musa balbisiana is a plantain (cooking banana), not a dessert-type banana. If you are wondering about how Musa Balbisiana would taste, go to your nearest "Innvandrer-sjappe" and tell them you want "koke-banan". I actually use this cooking type banana instead of potatoes. goes well with chicken, fish etc. But it does not taste very good raw, best if it's deep-fried like chips! And use them when they are slightly yellow, not green!

To buy cultivars, the easiest thing for you would be to take a trip to England. They probably have Europes biggest selection. Near london you have Paramount Plants and The Palm Centre.

Other places in England who have different and exciting cultivars are Mulu, KobaKoba, EasyTropicals, and UrbanJungle.
