Dwarf Ducasse Banana

Common Names: Dwarf Ducasse, Sugar Banana, Pisang Awak

Dwarf Ducasse is a tough banana that loves Perth gardens. It is famous for fruit that tastes like a mix of sugar and cream. The tree is smaller than most bananas, so it fits in backyards without taking over. It handles the cold better than other types and looks great with its big green leaves.

Features:

Ideal prune height range: 2m

pH growing conditions: 5.5 to 7.0

Shade or full sun: plant in shade until colony is established, needs cover from strong winds. Near fence ideal.

Minimum pot year 5: 75L to 100L pot

Time to fruit age: 2 years from planting

These trees are fast growers if you give them plenty of water and food. They love a sunny spot only when mature. The fruit is small and stays firm even when very ripe. It is a great choice for families because the fruit is the perfect snack size for kids.

Interesting Notes:

The flowers of this banana can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable. The fruit is also packed with energy and is much sweeter than what you find at the shops. Once you harvest a bunch, cut that stem down to let the new suckers grow up and take its place.

Dwarf Ducasse is a must for any Perth gardener wanting a tropical feel and sweet treats.
