Question

I RECENTLY HAD SOMETHING GROWING AROUND IT, NEAR THE TRUNK OF THE BUSH, LOOKED LIKE A TALL BAMBOO STYLE STICK. MY LEAVE DID, AND UNFORTUNATLEY DIDN’T THINK IT WAS GOING TO COME BACK ,BUT IT DID. I DON’T SEE ANY NEW BRANCHES GROWING BUT I DO SEE LEAVES FROM THE BRACHES ON IT. hOPE THIS MAKE SENSE.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the growth. This should resemble the rest of the shrub. It could be a sucker from the root stock, if it is a grafted specimen. This is most likely, actually. Keep those that grow from the base pruned away, and look for growth that resembles your shrub.
