I think Saba has some wind resistance, but it's tall. I remember seeing a plant on the wiki that could get toppled easily.

Buy it!!! I say try whatever variety you can. You're in zone 10, so take advantage of it.

Mysore may be "wind resistant", but it will fold under the weight of a bunch -- I've seen that.

Look at Clare's Cardaba thread for some that AREN'T wind resistant.

I could easily prop it up, it should be no big deal. It might not look good but it will work.
