Mango Tree for Wet Rainy Hilo?

In wet rainy Hilo only certain varieties will work.
I'm told Keitt is fine. But that tree gets big right?
Anyone know anything about these varieties: Kau dwarf,
florigon, Aipuni, Ta Rab Noc? A grower told me these
should work on the wet side of Big Isle.
Kau dwarf strikes me as something that
might not take up too much space as I don't have that
much room. Any feedback would be appreciated.

| There are so many mango trees in the Hilo area, that I was under the impression just about any variety could handle it. Definitly go with a dwarf if you don't have a lot of room. Mangoes get very big very quickly. |

| Quite dark underneath, too. And rather messy, of course - especially at fruiting time. |

| From what I've heard: Late Brooks
Florigon
Keitt
Fairchild (this one can be maintained at about ~ 9-10 feet high by ~ 10 feet wide with regular pruning) |
