I HAD A BEAUTIFUL FORSYTHIA BUSH ON THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE FOR YEARS IN BIRMINGHAM AL AND A ANT BED GOT TO THE ROOTS AND I COULD NOT SAVE IT. I WAS CRUSHED. BUT I ONLY SALVAGED A TWIG, SO I CUT IT IN A SLANT, PUT SOME ROOT HORMONE POWDER ON THE END AND STUCK IT IN A BIG FLOWER POT AND WALLAH!!!!! IT BLOOMED IN THE POT SO NOW SHE IS IN THE GROUND HAPPY AND GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY. THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS, IF THE PLANT DIES, TAKE WHAT EVER PIECE IS LEFT AND RE-ROOT IT!!!!!!!
OK. I need real help. I have four forsythia plants, one purchased from a local (Rutland, Vermont garden center) in 2007 and three moved in 2008 from Keene, NH. None have bloomed. What do I do since bloom time is now past.
I would check with the garden center in Rutland from whom you purchased the bush; sometimes new bushes take a while to get established. I WOULDN'T prune if they're that new. What cultivar are they??
