Description

One of many red-skinned banana cultivars. This one stays short and takes up little space. Most red bananas are much esteemed for good tasting fruit and this one is no exception. This cultivar also has red pseudostems. A favorite small banana, the red bananas take longer to ripen than most. 'Dwarf Red' is a strong, vigorous Musa. The skin should be almost black before it is ripe enough to eat. The fruit has a brilliant reddish purple skin and a soft orange pulp. It is a dependable producer and its strong leaf texture makes it resistant to the wind.. The trunk is red and the midrib of the leaf is reddish-purple. The fruit is sweet with a custard like texture.
