nah.. not deep. whack it down leaving about 2 feet of upright trunks to get a grip
on, start chopping around the outside. my DH uses a pick ax sorta thing, gets the
tip under and works around it popping it out . then uses the flat end part to whack
the roots. rock it back and forth to pop the rest of the roots. Ingrid

I've
heard that forsythias have deep root systems, so I'm wondering (1) if that's
actually true about the root systems, and (2) about how far I'll need to dig
down to remove these. If anyone has some good advice for me, I'd be very
grateful. Thanks in advance!
