Here's a close-up of the bursts of life on this shrub. Remember, each
tuft is only about half an inch in diameter.

Yes, Sacha, maybe the tuft is just a survival technique and in the best
circumstances the tuft would continue growing into a stalk, as in the
pics of the Picea. Is this known to happen in conifers?

Eddy.

I don't know Eddy but I'm sure someone will. However, it has to start
somewhere!

They look normal and healthy enough. Are they new shoots since the
move? If so it may be OK but it will never make new growth on the
dead twigs so may never look very good.
