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.
