Red Dacca (Cuban Red) Banana - Musa acuminata

The Red Dacca, also known as Cuban Red Banana, is a vibrant variety that produces reddish-purple bananas, sweeter and richer in flavor than common yellow bananas. Native to Southeast Asia, it thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. The fruit is plumper and shorter than regular bananas, making it highly valued for both its ornamental appeal and delicious taste. It's a standout in any tropical garden due to its striking color.
