I hope this is helpful.
I know next to nothing about fibers, so I'm hoping kom the "banana fiber expert" will fill in any important details I might omit.
After harvesting my first banana plant, it was almost impossible not to notice that the center fruiting stalk had very thin, soft and extremely strong fibers.
