Bush broke in winds yesterday. But in this advanced age of prothesis injuries which would surely spell certain death can be overcome.
Foreman came to check on me.
With luck, many more winters of these sprays

This is a ~ 1.5 metre tall bush. I think this is what's called a co dominant stem but I didn't think it was typically a problem in bushes.
Most grow like this don't they?
We just had several days of ~150 km/h gusting due to living atop a ridge where people have cleared the trees. It seemed to weaken over time and snap.
It's the included bark that's the issue. Where you have two codominant stems growing next to each other like that it creates a very weak joint. If you catch it early you can reduce one of the two halves so only one side becomes dominant and once you're down to like 25% mass on the reduced side you can cut it back completely
