  • There are few more iconic spring flowering shrubs than the Golden Forsythia. You can drive down nearly any street in the majority or the United States in early spring and see millions of tiny yellow blossoms along sidewalks and popping out of hedgerows. Although the Forsythia bloom only lasts about 2 weeks, the foliage stays strong throughout summer and fall.
    In this video, we show you how to properly and quickly root Forsythia cuttings using a very simple method.

    When you day to leave in the cuttings in the planter in the shade "for awhile" is awhile a day or two, week or two?
    Otherwise love this detailed instruction!

    • @BarefootBonsai
      @BarefootBonsai  Před měsícem

      Usually a month will do it but it all depends on how hot and direct the sun is. The thing you want to avoid is burnt leaves. When that happens, you risk losing the cutting. Another tip is to water less in the shade because the coolness will retain water and cause rot if overwatered.

    Forsythia is zoned through zone 8 but I’m in zone 9B. Do you have any advice on how I can grow one? I tried before and it disappeared (perhaps gophers?).

    • @BarefootBonsai
      @BarefootBonsai  Před 2 lety

      While they prefer full sun, this one is growing in mostly shade. I'd try that out. If it's not the gophers, it's probably the harsh sun. Also, they prefer damp soil, so that might be the issue as well.

    Can the propagation happen from woody branches?

    • @BarefootBonsai
      @BarefootBonsai  Před 2 lety

      Yes I’ve actually gotten good results from the woody parts but you have to do it earlier in the year because they take longer to develop roots.

      @@peterghai2466 I’d say at least a few feet. That bush is somewhere around 15 years old. Forsythia have a wider, shallow root system and send up suckers from the horizontal roots. That’s what makes them so easy to propagate.

      Early September is about the line. If you have a greenhouse or another covered area. You could probably push a few roots out. It also depends on when snow falls by you. Cold is the enemy of baby roots.

    @jimmiller6704 Před 9 měsíci

    Forsythia is not a native of America and it should not be propagated or encouraged to be propagated by responsible gardeners anywhere outside of Europe or Asia, where it is native.
    There are many shrubs that help our native bees you could focus those great propagation techniques on.

      I have a Forsythia that was planted by the previous owner.
      I've looked at it repeatedly early spring when it is flowering and have not noticed a single bee, wasp, butterfly or other on it.
      Nor have I seen any on other forsythias.
      They need to be gone.

      They may not be native, but neither are honeybees. This is one of the earliest flowering plants, and many of our native wasps, flies, beetles, etc. LOVE this plants flower and pollen.
      In NC there was a tiny little house, with a HUMONGOUS forsythia hedge(fortress?) That shone like the sun, and was home to so many birds, and on the spring it would be covered in insects and even early hummingbirds some years.
      Focus on things like the Bradford pear... Which suckkkk and escape into the landcape and out compete natives. You won't catch a forsythia overtaking an entire mountainside.
