Yep, looks much like mine. Except better. I've one branch
about a third of the way up, with maybe 7 leaves. Trying to
find out if I should cut back.

Have you got any more information on how to proceed? Sure
looks like we're in the same boat.

However the A. shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon' is looking positively
brilliant, didn't suffer at all from the winter.

The garden centre, Humbees, Winchester, which is not really such because all
they mostly sell trees and shrubs told me to leave it as is this year and
see what transpires next.

One poster here says don't cut back but break off dead branches. In my case
it's very difficult to differentiate dead or alive at present.

It's not going to get better this year so I intend leaving alone and not
even breaking/cutting anything. I will repot into a glazed pot at the end of
this season and add some new soil to see what happens next.
