Red Dacca Banana Tree (Musa) – Rare, Sweet Red Banana for Tropical Gardens Starter Plant

Elevate your garden with the exotic beauty and rich flavor of the Red Dacca Banana Tree (Musa) — one of the most sought-after red banana varieties in the world. Known for its vibrant reddish-maroon skin and exceptionally sweet, creamy fruit, the Red Dacca is a tropical showstopper prized by both fruit growers and collectors alike.

This unique banana tree is more than just a conversation piece. The Red Dacca produces medium-sized bananas with a deep red to purple skin and a rich, slightly raspberry-like flavor. The fruit is delicious when eaten fresh, blended into smoothies, or used in desserts, and it’s higher in potassium and beta-carotene than common yellow bananas.

Visually, the Red Dacca is stunning. The plant features lush green leaves with a hint of maroon on the midrib, growing up to 10–12 feet tall in ideal tropical and subtropical conditions. It thrives in USDA zones 9–11, though it can be grown in containers in cooler climates and overwintered indoors or in greenhouses.
