Do you have a lot of slugs & snails? They had a feast on mine & although they didn't strip it completely it died.

yes i think that is the problem. The surviving one had a lot of snails on its branches, tiny ones that i had to pick out and crush underfoot (with satisfaction). I will shower the area with slug pellets. Now that is it green and growing you reckon it will flower next spring? is 6 years too old for brooms?

It appears from a bit of research that many of them are short-lived - you never stop learning with gardening! - but yours may well flower next year. I seem to remember that mine 'took a year out' once or twice.
