Default Re: The Most Drought Tolerant Cultivar

I think that you have to search about Islands cultivars............

Maybe Micronesia such Caroline Islands..............or more isolated Islands groups such Marshall Islands................for exemple...........

You have to find an Island that have harsh envoronement..............such high level of salt in the soil...........scatered rain...............strong wind............heavy sunny days..........etc.........

I think that there a few Islands with this profile..............

Maybe you find an old Polynesian cultivar adapted to this kind of environement.............

I was searching for a Pohnpei cultivar from Fehi group called Karat.........and I know thet there are dozen of different cultivars in Micronesia.........Melanesia...........and Polynesia.............

In Marshall Islands seems to have Islands with harsh environement............that may have some ancient cultivar well adapted to drought situation...............
