They inherit most of the characteristics of <i>Musa balbisiana</i>, making them tolerant of dry soil and colder conditions of temperate climates. They require minimum rainfall and can survive long dry seasons as long as adequate irrigation is provided. However, their fruits may not ripen under such conditions. They also have good resistance against Sigatoka leaf spot diseases.<sup id="cite_ref-a1_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-a1-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The fruits are 8 to 13 cm (3.1 to 5.1 in) long and 2.5 to 5.5 cm (0.98 to 2.17 in) in diameter. Depending on the ripeness, the fruits are distinctively squarish and angular. The flesh is white and starchy; the starchiness makes this variety particularly suitable for cooking. They are usually harvested while still green 150 to 180 days after blooming, especially if they are to be transported over long distances.<sup id="cite_ref-a2_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-a2-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Taxonomy_and_nomenclature">Taxonomy and nomenclature</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Saba_banana&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Taxonomy and nomenclature"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:4377Cuisine_and_foods_of_Baliuag,_Bulacan_18.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/4377Cuisine_and_foods_of_Baliuag%2C_Bulacan_18.jpg/220px-4377Cuisine_and_foods_of_Baliuag%2C_Bulacan_18.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/4377Cuisine_and_foods_of_Baliuag%2C_Bulacan_18.jpg/330px-4377Cuisine_and_foods_of_Baliuag%2C_Bulacan_18.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/4377Cuisine_and_foods_of_Baliuag%2C_Bulacan_18.jpg/440px-4377Cuisine_and_foods_of_Baliuag%2C_Bulacan_18.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4608" data-file-height="3456" /></a><figcaption>Ripe saba bananas</figcaption></figure> <p>The saba banana is a triploid (<a href="/wiki/List_of_banana_cultivars#ABB_Group" title="List of banana cultivars">ABB</a>) hybrid of the seeded bananas <i><a href="/wiki/Musa_balbisiana" title="Musa balbisiana">Musa balbisiana</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Musa_acuminata" title="Musa acuminata">Musa acuminata</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-a3_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-a3-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Its official designation is <i>Musa acuminata</i> × <i>balbisiana</i> (ABB Group) 'Saba'. <a href="/wiki/Synonym_(taxonomy)" title="Synonym (taxonomy)">Synonyms</a> include: </p> <ul><li><i>Musa</i> × <i>paradisiaca</i> <small>L.</small> cultigroup Plantain cv.
