On the contrary, Ante, it's the least safest of all that are in offer. It's so closely related to Cavendish (and so tasty therefore), tha it has quite high demands. Also, it has difficulties to survive even light frosts of -1°C, when it supposedly dies out in 75% of the cases. It's yields are said to be incredible though, quite large bunches, excellent fruit, and of course, shorter statue.

Saba, on the contrary, is large, robust banana that has higher yields of fruit supposedly with lesser quality, it's better for cooking, as the fruit is supposedly very heavy.
Saba is also much hardier and it's one of the most ideal cultivars to your area.
