Default Is it too late for Forsythia cuttings?

The ones I took in the spring (during bloom time) never thrived and have

do it if it can still be done now?

Thx.


Forsythia roots readily. My forsythia was obtained by taking cuttings
in the fall, which were then buried 80% under mulch. In the spring,
about 2/3 of them push out new leaves. As cuttings go, they are the
easiest.
