Default Re: Saba vs. Kandrian

Jeffaro, I have not seen many people growing the Kandrian variety. It was collected from Papua New Guinea in the late 1980s. I think it would be worth a try in your area. The field testing in south florida shows that it's height at fruiting is 14.8 feet. Compared to Saba at 12.8 feet.

I first saw Kandrian growing at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Miami. I was blown away by how big it was.
