I bet this looks lovely in winter with the berries.

Thank you! Just bought it early last summer! It had several berries at that time, unfortunately, it’s had no further fruits. I’ve had some advice back from Steragram and Darren8. I’ll look into what both have said.

That's great let's hope you get your berries back.
