Of course we'd love to see pictures!
My experience with bahama berry is that their branches are very brittle except when the first emerge green, so bending is tough. They bud back like litte fiends, which is good. they also send out new roots very easily. But don't let it dry out! It'll croak if it gets too dry, so make sure the soil is always a bit moist at least.
