Musa balbisiana. It is very common in Hawaii, people sometimes eat the male bud, but more often it is just escaped (since it sets seeds) and grows in the forest and along roadsides. It is a very tough plant that can grow under very poor conditions, so is good for ornamental use and other non-fruit uses.
