That’s a shame Jane, I know how much you like it. Mines the best it’s been for several years @pelly

I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed for next year. I was looking at it a few minutes ago and noticed it had put on some new growth 🤞

Trying to cut off all the dead stuff yesterday. Guess what? cut off the best piece off it that was flowering away on the end of a long dead looking stem🤦🏼

Oh that's great Joan and very lovely it looks too. Mine literally avalanched the other day, I obviously hadn't tied it in well enough and one branch collapsed 🙄

Hope it recovers Jane. One stem of mine is heading up the crab apple tree but the flowers are obscured by the blossom 😂 @pelly

Thanks Joan. The stem doesn't appear to be broken so hopefully it should be ok. Yours is a bit wayward then 😂
