Mine's the same. Conventional wisdom says that, about now, we chop off
the dead stuff to let the new green growth develop. This is new
territory for me but I'm planning to work on the basis that the old
growth will simply suck nutrient from the flowers/berries and at the
moment it's bigger than the new so while I've got that distinction I'm
going to chop it off.
