Musa acuminata ‘Red Dacca’ Banana

Red Dacca Banana, also known as Red Banana, is a popular dessert banana cultivar prized for its sweet flavor and attractive reddish-purple skin. It belongs to Musa acuminata, a fast-growing tropical herbaceous plant.

The Red Dacca banana plant is medium-sized, typically reaching 3–5 meters in height, with broad, green leaves and a sturdy pseudostem. The fruits grow in clusters called “hands,” with each fruit being shorter and plumper than the common Cavendish banana. The peel of mature fruit is reddish-purple, and the flesh is creamy, slightly pinkish, and rich in natural sugars.

Red Dacca bananas thrive in warm, tropical climates with well-drained soils and regular watering. They prefer full sunlight and benefit from fertilization to support healthy growth and high yields.

This variety is prized for fresh consumption, desserts, smoothies, and baking. Its unique color, sweet flavor, and nutritional value—including vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber—make it a favorite among gardeners and fruit enthusiasts.
