Actually many stupidmarkes sell banana leaves, one finds them in
plastic packages in refrigerator cases usually near to where other
ethnic foods are kept... Asian and Hispanic markets or markets where
those ethnic groups reside carry banana leaves. Btw, bananas don't
grow on trees, the banana plant is the world's hargest herb.
