    It never covered it over winter and it appears to be the result of frost damage.

    I am thinking also that the pot might be a little on the small side.

    I had a number of these about 8 feet high a few years ago but they all died after being damaged by frost during the winter.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    It looks like there may be a bit of life in it yet. The problem is you are going to have to pot it up and the pot you have it in looks a funny shape not condusive to removing the plant.

    Any way pot it up and give it a feed and see what happens. :D

    yep, those pots where the neck is narrower than the main body of the pot are a curse. you either have to break up/saw up the rootball, or break the pot to get the plant out.

    Or you scrape out a bit of compost round the top edge if you can, then put the pot on its side and roll it around fairly vigorously while waggling the plant. As you can access it, brush off any loose compost with your hand. I got a large shrub out of a pot with no damage at all to rootball or pot with that method!
