Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

The "Dwarf Red Dacca" cultivar of Musa acuminata is a distinctive banana plant that offers not only an edible delight but also aesthetic beauty. Its eye-catching burgundy skin matures to a vibrant orange hue as it ripens, revealing a tantalising pale orange-pink flesh within. Look forward to its flowers around 10 months after planting; however, cooler conditions during Makuru (winter) might prompt a short delay until Djilba (early spring).

Planting "Dwarf Red Dacca" in the ground? Boost sandy soils with a quality soil conditioner for optimal growth. Favoring sunny positions, this banana plant requires regular watering, especially during Bunuru (summer), but be mindful of waterlogged conditions. For fruiting success, nourish the plant with a high-potassium, slow-release fertiliser come Djilba (early spring). When the skin transitions from burgundy to orange, it signals the optimal harvest time, simply cut above the fruit bunch to gather your bounty.
