This is my first year of getting serious with the bananas and am by no means an authority on them. Although I've had a few plants off and on for most years, most of them were hand me downs and never got very big. I figured they were of a dwarf type so I started researching and looking for a bigger variety for shade and saw the Sabas. I got 3 of them back in August and one died but 2 made it and are over 4 ft tall now.
I think I read that they come from the Philippines and are actually a "Plantain". I worked overseas and have a few Filippino friends and I ask them about the "saba" and they were quite familiar with that variety. I also got a basjoo but it never has done much. After seeing some of the photos posted here of the Saba, I can't wait for next year to see how they do. I hope this helps. Good luck
