Just ordinary plantain, as in weeds?  Or bananas?  Plantain grows all over here, in our gravel and flower beds.  I leave lots but have to pull some out or there'd be no space for anything else.  Where have you been looking?

There is NO planet B - what are YOU doing to save our home?

Do something today that your future self will thank you for - plant a tree

The garden centre at Freuchie near Falkland (Bridgend Garden Centre I think its called) may be able to source them through suppliers.
Failing that I would try a catalogue search/online order.

Tesco used to stock them (haven't been in a  tesco in a while) or perhaps ask local grocer.
No plantain or breadfruit near me either
