Forsythia

[GaryM]

Quick question on moving forsythia. Mine are about 1 year old and I have
found lots of good info on how to move them in google. On thing I read
is to prune the shrubs after transplanting. I was wondering if it is
possible to root the pruned branches?

TIA,

Gary

Yes.

You can even bend branches down to the ground, cover them with dirt and have
them root.

But why bother? The plant is such a weed, it will spread by itself.
