I live in 10B and grow Saba.... It grows fast and really tall, especially during our rainy season. Mine continually push out pups so you have to keep up with removing pups or the mat will spread in no time. I decided to relocate mine after they took over my side yard and it was an all day job digging them up. My experience is that the fruit take longer than usual to ripen (7-9 months) I haven't used them green / cooking but they were OK once yellow. They are monsters so find the right spot for them.
