Here is a photo taken April 8th, 2023.
It is too small for me to see any details (blue circle).
It does flower each year, though. As for the narrowness vs thickness at different times of year, I have no memory or record of that.
OK, upon zooming in there is definite fan damage (especially on the right fan) as may occur with evergreens. But we did have that Arctic blast last year, which did damage a lot of things.
I will keep a better watch and records this year.
