I've tried prunning it before Xmas after Xmas but still the same result. Any advice please?
The same thing actually happened to me, I planted one next to me gate and the same thing happened, just like you described, so it might sound silly but I believe it has something to do with the fence. It's probably restricting the plant's growth. - I'm no expert but I do believe it is due to restriction. Try re-planting it?
