Planting Forsythia

Forsythias grow to about 7 - 10 feet tall and wide. So please give it this space when planting it in your garden.

If you plant it too tight, you'll find yourself cutting it back every season, reducing the flower production, and you will end up with a very ugly plant.

Pruning Forsythias

Only remove one third of the oldest, and less flowering, branches each year, at the very base of the plant.

Also cut away any dead wood, and any branches that rub together.

Pruning should be done after flowering, however, you can also prune it in early spring when the branches are still bare.

One advantage to cutting away old branches, right after flowering is, that the plant will have time to grow new branches that will flower next spring.
