Which of these have you got and how long have you had it?

Also, what colour are its leaves? (Healthy green or yellowish)
Do the leaves tend to fall off.
Does it have any signs of flower buds at the moment?
Are the branches spindly and rather bare?



From the photos available it look most like the Firecrest. I inherited it
with the house so it's at least 4 years old (but it's only about 3 feet
high). It's in semi-shade in a raised bed with good soil (azaleas nearby
are growing well). Its leaves are a good colour and lots of them, but there
are no signs of flower buds.

I'd hoped the ericaceous tonic would have helped but it hasn't.
