The main difference is that the fruit looks different, as far as cold tolerance goes, it's hard saying. It made it through January 2010 largely unscathed with a low of 33. This year it got really cold, and pretty much everything below 4' got roasted. It got below 30 and burned out the tops of some of the leaves of Kandrian but it bounced back. The main issue I have is that it doesn't hold up well in the wind.
