I can se a bunch of spider mites on it. Too young to ID properly, I'm afraid.

Thanks, Brad, I'll look that one up.

I was afraid that might still be the case when I posted the pic. And I fear it will take a couple of seasons (or three) to get going. The leaves on last year's culms were desiccated, likewise the regrowth. It looks awful, whereas the Vivax and Nigra came through unscathed, which might be a sign to its hardiness.

Really? I can't see any. Selective vision? :shock:
Boohoo?

Well spotted! And thank you for pointing them out. I have read spider mites (pardon the puns) are not a serious problem on outdoor plants here. They "thrive in warm, dry conditions." That is not Central Scotland.
