ViburnumValley, hope these pictures offer some clues:

#1 April 20, 2014 this is about a week after other dw are in full bloom. You will not partially healed cut at base. All growth below the fork has always been trimmed away.

#2 is a closeup of flowering during the April bloom period. This was sold as a pink; it has never really been pink, even with the few flowers it has thrown in earlier seasons. The bracts this spring are much bigger and more abundant than in the past.

#3 A closeup of the cut in April. You can see the scar healing; I had expected it to die in last summer's heat

#4 A closeup bracts on tree at this moment

#5 One of the present branches with bracts. The same branch is covered with flower in photo #1

What I assume are fruit spurs are shown the last pic in the original post.
