Default planting forsythia bushes
(mike) wrote in message . com...
Hi all....I live in southern New Jersey...and wanted to know about
planting forsythia bushes. Just wondering a good time of year (early
spring maybe?) to plant them...and how many feet away from a stockade
fence?? And how far apart?
Any information will be great...thanks.

Spring is good, forsythia is very hardy. A good row of forsythia will
run 6-8' wide if unchecked.
If you are going to prune them regularly as a hedge then 2' from the
stockade would be OK. If you are going to let them run wild then 4' is
probably a good idea.
Are you sure you want forsythia?
