Banana / abaca fibers come from the banana variety Musa textils, which is commonly known as abaca. The abaca-banana tree, whose leaves are held on a pseudo trunk with extremely long, fiber-reinforced and interwoven leaf stems. They have a high tensile strength and resist rot. Historically they have been used to make rope.
