This was a gorgeous specimen at 5ft tall. In 2012 it suffered really badly after an attack of aphids and possibly water logging. I cut off all the branches except one very thin young stem. It's chances of survival were very slim! It's a fighter and now just needs to regain some of the structure it lost.
