I have a forsythia. Last year it flowered very nicely. I cut it back
sometime around July and it shot back up again -- but now there are no
flower buds on the long new shoots. There are only flowers on new
short
side branches from the bits I didn`t cut back. What did I do wrong?

If you cut back after flowering and then cut a few inches off each new
long shoot about mid July it will form flowering shoots all along the
first new growth.
