I'm in zone 4 (or maybe low end of 5), so there are only three choices
for me. I don't want to have to worry about controlling a spreader.
That leaves the two hardiest Fargesias - murieliae and nitida -

So. What are the relative merits of the two - in terms of beauty,
availability, speed of growth, edibility, usefulness, other?

Thanks for your thoughts.
