This one always gets me. There are some folks near me with very nice
forsythia hedge. They keep it cut to about 1 1/2 feet high, pruning it
off and on including late in the fall. In the spring, while all their
neighbors have splashes of yellow and they could have a wonderful line
of color the entire width of their front yard, they get an occasional
flower or three. I'm not crazy about forsythia but it does give us a
nice display early in the spring. But without the week of flowers,
what's the point?
