I have been wanting to grow Saba to it's potential since the 90's, but have not had the opportunity or the climate. I made a visit to Going Bananas in Homestead, Florida this week and had a nice chat with Don. He said he has always wanted to grow Saba next to Kandrian to see which one was taller. He thought Kandrian would be the winner. I will be planting both in similar conditions and seeing which does best in the environment i can provide. The native soil is near 100% Hallandale sand. I will heavily amend with the same compost and manure on both plants. They will be about 10' apart and have similar light. I will post updates.
This is a tissue culture Saba from Going Bananas. It is about 1-2' This is the location it will be planted using wood compost and cow manure (exactly like the Kandrian was planted)
Here is the Kandrian, also from Going Bananas. It has a head-start and is 4-5'. It is also a tissue culture.
Both
