Video: Cut forsythia after flowering - this is the only way for it to bloom again every year

Anonim

Forsythia (Forsythia) is the first shrub to flower in spring. It shines in a juicy yellow, is often bushy and grows sprawling. A pruning is essential to ensure that this view is retained for the following years. If you don't do this, the plant may become lignified and the flowers will not bloom.

I have to admit that for me a pruning is always a kind of ordeal. What can I cut off from a plant and how much? What should absolutely be left as it is in order not to jeopardize growth? Since every plant is different, I'm always happy to see helpful videos that show exactly which branches can and can't be clipped. You will also receive a video from NewWonder555 on the subject of forsythia pruning. In the video above, he not only explains in detail how and when to carry out the pruning, but also gives many helpful tips about forsythia in between. A well-done video, where cutting back afterwards is really child's play.

My tip:
Anyone who has planted a forsythia hedge cannot avoid pruning here either. So that the hedge grows densely and you don't have to do without a plentiful flowering, you should pay attention to an optimal ratio between existing and new branches. The timing is also a little different here. It is best to cut the forsythia hedge in July. So the birds can still spend their breeding season in it undisturbed.
