I just planted a forsythia in the fall, I don't think there's enough growth to force anything this year. Maybe next February.Robin's Nesting Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894844125547373328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-31933799220870066772008-02-11T17:26:00.000-05:002008-02-11T17:26:00.000-05:00Thanks for the reminder!

It's not going to be a real dramatic change, I don't think, because I didn't cut very many branches, but it will still be nice.<BR/><BR/><B>Mom ~</B> I'm glad it's done well, too! Thanks for giving it to me! It's always a conversation-starter and the kitties like to lay in its shade in among the 'Limelight' artemisia that's all around its base. It has a central trunk, so it's not multiplying, but it has grown a LOT.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-20543189471935049382008-02-11T15:56:00.000-05:002008-02-11T15:56:00.000-05:00I will look forward to seeing the sprays of color ...I will look forward to seeing the sprays of color when all are blooming in your bouquet.
