"Darlow's Enigma" now 5th year own root, US zone 7; Thursday, June 4, 2020. Reference prior 2 year photos. Bush just over 6 feet tall and had started to slowly spread out. Weight of rain caused semi-hard wood limbs to bend downward. A severe thunder storm had just passed through the day before but the right side had already bowed over from rain earlier. New canes are emerging in the center to fill the gap. This appears natural for the bush. You could keep it trimmed at the 5-6 foot range if you don't like the look of this. I'm going to let it fill out.
