When did you trim yours? The usual rule for BB's is to leave them alone until new leaves appear in the spring, then shape as desired.

I am in doubt it will come back, it was last May when we bought it and it had leafs at least, this is May again and just twigs and brown branches.
I just trimmed in this week end, and there are zero leafs. I have had one in the past for 4 years and it came back every spring.
