Thanks Momese for the picture. I accidentally saw it at the Fiesta Market, a Mexican market locally.
But I would not buy them because I have them in my backyard although I sulk when my wife wants to have some for her cooking needs.
And that's why I want to grow Balbisiana for its leaves and for its banana blossoms. It's number one!!! The flowers can be eaten . Sooo good if cooked. The fruit can be eaten also but not for dessert. Young fruit is used in salads and the matured ones can be so seedy as big as BB's and that's not so good.
You can also buy the banana leaves at SOME Filipino stores or maybe Oriental stores if you will just ask the counter girl.
