2 years Andrew...thats brilliant, I was just pleased I managed to over winter it in the garden as its not in a sheltered position

I planted mine against a trellis facing due south in well-drained soil so it has pretty much ideal conditions. Will need to do some judicious cutting back next year I think

Mine is facing west Andrew and yes it is very well draining there but very exposed really to the winter winds, and mine too could do with "a bit of a trim" but like yourself ....in the spring
