Yup. You could also try ABBs like Pelipita & Saba.
Trinidad might have the most diverse
balbisiana in the Western Hemisphere; and in grow-outs of open pollinated seed I'm seeing huge variations in tolerance to drought conditions in a heavy, untilled, clay soil regime.
So I can imagine ABBs will vary a lot depending on the constitution of the B genomes present.
