I suppose you are in the Netherlands? With that climate, when did you cut it back (second photo)? That December? or later when leaves started to bud out?
@ Spot: Thanks!
@ LucR, pleace don't exaggerate:blush: I'm just an advanced beginner
@ Ivan: Yes i'm from Holland.. The second picture is made in february 19th 2017. I suppose it was just after the cut back...
