Forthysia not blooming
I have a forthysia bush that only gets the odd bloom around the bottom
branches. This has been going on every year. Can someone please give me some suggestions because all around are beautiful yellow flowering bushes. Thanks Lori |

Forthysia not blooming
It is about 12 years old. Is close to a shed and about 5 ft. tall and
I haven't pruned it. It's kind of just sitting there and not growing.

Prune the oldest canes out right now. If you wait, you'll lose bloom. Don't remove more than a third of the canes but the ones you do cut get down at ground level. Do the same next year with a third of the oldest canes and again the year after. You should have a beautiful forsythia but it will take some time. Loki |

Forthysia not blooming
we had some forsythia. bloom was erratic. the rabbits were chewing the stems above
the "snow" line. also, there was some winter kill. so I first ordered several different forsythia, planted em side by side and put a fence around them to keep the rabbits out. one of these was the best and that one I propagated to fill in when I whacked out the old ones. go to neighbors with great looking forsythia. ask em what they do with em. and ask for cuttings. root em in a bid of dam soil. I lived ontario and either you are around TO and it is mild or further north and get snow every other day in winter and I cant believe you are zone 5, I thought it was a lot colder than that.
