Default pruning Forsythia?

what he says. by cutting out some old growth each year it will bloom well each
spring. Ingrid

Pruneimmediately after flowering down to good a strong-looking bud at your
requisite height. If your plant is mature then it does help maintain its
vigour generally if you cut out some of its older shoots right down to
ground level each year, this lets more light in to the centre and encourages
new growth.
