Can it be dying? Or has the late frost/cold in late April here in the South West of England, caused it to quit for this year? Perhaps to come back again?

Any clues or help is much appreciated.

Thanks

If you nick the bark on a twig, and it's green underneath, that bit of twig is still alive, and may come back in due course. Don't go mad nicking bark - it's not good for the plant. But it can be useful to know whetehr or not to prune off an apparently dead branch.
