In your locality you do not even need a cone. Then in the spring just prune down to about 10-12 inches above ground and also take off all dead branches and you will have a beautiful shrub by June 1st Steve in Omaha Patsy, just mulch the base and put a ventilated cone over the shrub and it will be fine.
