Happy--

I know all about the scraping....and I am sure i did it.
If anything--it is not really "buried"--as the branch is not, naturally, laying low on the ground.
It is a bit higher, but the brick holds it down.

Will check both--as soon as things dry out a bit...

I will be cutting some of the branched back a bit--it now has an unnatural, sprawling top.
I would like it to be more compact...
When i cut it down 3 years ago--and it aggressively re-grew--it now has all these
sprawling stems at the top. I think it looks a bit ugly this way....

Went out to take this pic--Brrrrrrrrrr--it is cold! What a switch in Temps!
