Which of those two is best for a colder(zone 8a and 8b, with extremes up to -17C) atlantic(constant rainy yearlong, between 700 and 900mm annually) climate(summer temperatures around 20 and 22C)
UK is excluded because they have warmer winters, sunnier annually, and less rain.
Also I should mention that air is humid the whole air through.
So which one should have a higher probability to survive (with minimal winter protection), and the higher possibility to grow faster ?
